Buttermilk Biscuits & Chocolate Gravy

HEY!... We did try that buttermilk biscuit recipe from last weekend's newsletter. We cooked us up a batch last Sunday morning and topped it with our own version of "chocolate gravy" and garnished with it with a few slices of fresh strawberries. For the recipe of "chocolate gravy" we found a basic white sauce recipe and made a few adjustments... coming up with our own chocolate gravy that was quite tasty.

Chocolate Gravy Recipe - Oakie (Okie) Style:
3 Tablespoons real butter; 3 Tablespoons of flour; 1 cup of milk/cream mixture (1/2 cup milk & 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream); 2 heaping Tablespoons of Ghiradelli sweet ground baking cocoa. Melt butter in regular gravy (saute') pan until simmering. Add 2 Tablespoons of chocolate to 3 Tablespoons of flour and mix thoroughly. Stir into simmering melted butter as you would for any gravy mixture. Gradually, after a few minutes returning to a simmering state, add the cup of milk, cream mixture and stir until thickened. Split piping hot biscuits in half and place on a saucer; ladle a spoonful or so of gravy on top and garnish with a sliced strawberry for a special valentine treat. You can make the gravy ahead of time and it will last a couple of days in the refrigerator. Just heat up when ready to use. HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
