Some traditions are simple, but they stick with you. This thick, chocolate gravy poured over warm biscuits has been a sweet start to birthday mornings and a weekend favorite in our family for years. With just a few basic ingredients, you can have this chocolatey, made-from-scratch treat on your table in no time.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, flour, and sugar until well combined. Pour in the milk and whisk until all of the ingredients are combined.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the mixture and cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring often as the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the softened butter, and add the vanilla extract.
Remove from heat and serve warm over freshly baked biscuits.
