Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- ¼ cup flour
- ⅓ cup cocoa powder
- 2 ¼ cups milk
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, whisk together the sugar, flour, and cocoa powder
- Slowly add the milk, whisking well to ensure no lumps
- Place mixture over medium heat and whisk frequently to avoid sticking and burning
- Once mixture starts to steam, whisk constantly to make sure no lumps are formed and continue whisking until bubbling and thickened
- Remove from heat, and stir in the butter and vanilla extract
- Allow to cool slightly before serving
Notes
- When in doubt, whisk! The more you whisk the less likely the gravy will get lumpy.
- Don't turn the stove up past medium. You don't want to scorch the gravy.
- The gravy will thicken slightly as it cools.
