Sweet & Spicy Chocolate Gravy - cooking recipe

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)

Preparation

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)!
