Ingredients
  

  • Biscuits of your choice frozen, canned, or homemade, no judgement here
  • 1 c. granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tbsp. all-purpose flour
  • ¼ tsp. salt
  • 2 c. whole milk
  • 1 tbsp. unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Bake those biscuits however you like. Store-bought is fine, but if you’ve got a family recipe, now’s the time to show off.
  • In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder, flour, and salt. Make sure it’s all mixed up real good.
  • Slowly add the milk while whisking constantly. You don’t want no lumps, honey.
  • Put that saucepan over medium heat and keep whisking until it thickens up. This usually takes about 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Once it’s nice and thick (think gravy, not pudding), take it off the heat.
  • Stir in the butter and vanilla. That’s what gives it that silky finish and a little extra love.
  • Split your warm biscuits in half and pour that chocolate gravy right over the top.

Notes

  • Use whole milk for the richest, creamiest gravy. Skim milk just won’t do it justice.
  • Don’t skip the vanilla, it rounds out the flavor and makes it taste like something straight out of a Southern diner.
  • Make it ahead? You can! Just reheat the gravy slowly on the stove and add a splash of milk to loosen it up.
  • Want it thicker? Let it simmer a minute longer. Want it thinner? Add a touch more milk.
