Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 pinch of salt
- 2 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the cocoa powder, sugar, flour, and a pinch of salt. Stir the dry ingredients with a whisk to break up any lumps.
Gradually whisk in the milk, a little at a time, ensuring the mixture stays smooth and lump-free.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens to a gravy-like consistency. This should take approximately 8-10 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the butter until it’s melted and fully incorporated.
Stir in the vanilla extract for added richness and flavor.
Serve the chocolate gravy warm over freshly baked biscuits or drizzled over your favorite breakfast pastries.
