Chocolate Gravy
breakfast
3 tablespoon cocoa
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoon flour
2 cup milk
2 tablespoon butter
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
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!
