Name: Chocolate Gravy for Biscuits
Total time: 15 min
Yield: Makes about 4 cups
Cuisine: American, US & Canada
Ingredients: 1 cup (7 ounces/198 grams) sugar; 1/2 cup (2 1/2 ounces/71 grams) all-purpose flour; 6 tablespoons (1 1/8 ounces/32 grams) Dutch-processed cocoa; 1/4 teaspoon salt; 4 cups whole milk; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Why This Recipe Works

Chocolate gravy should be thick, rich, and sweet enough to complement a fluffy, tangy biscuit. The combination of Dutched cocoa and whole milk, thickened with just enough flour, yields a “gravy” with the right amount of viscosity to blanket the biscuits in a decadent layer of chocolate.

Instructions

Whisk sugar, flour, cocoa, and salt together in large saucepan. Slowly whisk in milk until smooth. Bring to simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly, and simmer until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in vanilla. Serve over biscuits.
