Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (more or less)
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2/3 cup powdered sugar (granulated also works just fine)
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons butter (or bacon fat)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • cayenne pepper (2-3 generous dashes, depending on your spicy preference)

Method

  • Heat skillet or sauce pan over medium-low heat, add butter or bacon fat until melted.
  • Sprinkle in flour slowly and whisk until smooth.
  • Add chocolate and sugar, whisk until fully blended; cook 1-2 minutes, careful to not burn.
  • Slowly add milk, whisk continuously to prevent lumps.
  • Add vanilla, salt, and cayenne.
  • Cook a few minutes until gravy thickens. Whisk in more milk for a thinner gravy.
  • Serve over fresh buttered biscuits, pancakes, crumpets, toast, bacon, eggs (just about anything)!
