Chocolate gravy
1 Batch
Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 3 | tablespoons | Cocoa |
| 1 | cup | Sugar |
| 2 | tablespoons | Flour |
| 2 | cups | Milk |
| 2 | tablespoons | Butter |
| 2 | teaspoons | Vanilla Extract |
Directions
Mix the cocoa, sugar, and flour together. Add the milk, making sure it mixes smoothly. Heat (medium) and stir constantly until it thickens. This takes about 8 minutes. Take off of heat. Add butter.
Stir until it is melted and mixed. Add vanilla and stir until mixed.
Serve hot over buttered biscuits. Buttered toast will do in a pinch.
Notes: This is an almost lost Ozark classic. It hardly ever shows up in ethnic or regional cookbooks.
If this cools, it becomes something else: chocolate pudding! Chocolate gravy is a great way to make sure your kids get their minimum daily requirement of sugar!
