Chocolate Gravy, Southern Style

Gravy, gravy, gravy!

~~~

Here in the South, Chocolate Gravy is served at breakfast over “cat-head” biscuits, as my dear Dad calls them.   My own daughters used to gag at the idea of gravy being sweet, until they grew up a little and learned just how delicious chocolage gravy poured over a warm biscuit and topped with a pat of butter can be.

It’s not something I make on a regular basis, but for a special breakfast treat.

Speaking of Dad, his specialty was always Tomato Gravy, a savory gravy made with bacon drippings and flour, with chopped fresh tomato pieces added.  Yum, yum!  I must make some soon.

My friend Jada shares her family’s secret recipe for Chocolate Gravy.

Chocolate Gravy

2 cups sugar

3 TBS cocoa

3 heaping TBS flour

add 3-4cups HOT water

Mix sugar, flour, and cocoa with whisk first, then add your water.  Mix well.  Cook on med heat until it boils.

Jada’s notes:  Add more water if it gets too thick.  Some like it thick, some don’t.  I let mine sit and cool about 5 min before serving so its not like lava–lol–ENJOY! I’ve just let y’all in on a BIG family recipe  :)
