Chocolate Gravy

These are all approximate, as I mostly do this by sight, not actual measurements.

3/4 cup sugar
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
dash of salt (NOT DISH.. that's too much!!)
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
2 1/2 cups whole milk. Add more if needed.
1/4 cup butter

Directions

Mix the dry ingredients together in a bowl. The sugar, flour, salt and cocoa.

Grab a pot. Pour in 2 cups of milk. Set to Medium heat.

Pour in the dry ingredients. Mix well. Cook until thick and creamy. Add more milk as it cooks to get the right creaminess suitable for you. Some like thick gravy, some like it a little more thin.

Once it's cooked to your taste, mix in the butter. You can also add in some vanilla flavouring, or even maple or coconut for a different taste.

This is served over homemade biscuits. You can substitute toast, rolls, or even bagels. There are about 4-6 servings here, depending on serving size.

Once you've come up with the right measurements for yourself (maybe a bit less sugar, more cocoa, less flour, or what) you can multiply the measurements and store them in a sealed container. Then use approximately 1 cup of the mix for each 4-6 servings.

EDIT -- Reminder.. as with all flour gravies, it will thicken a bit as it cools.. so keep that in mind when cooking. Make it ever so slightly more thin, and as it cools and is poured over your biscuits it will be the right thickness.

And for you English, I think our term for biscuit is your term for Scones.
