from Crystal:
If you like sweets, this one is great. My Grandmother and all of her side of the family are from KY (London). I don't know if this is a family recipe or a southern recipe, but all I can say about it is "MMMMMM"!

Ingredients:

  • The Biscuits:
  • refrigerator biscuits or homemade
  • .
  • The Chocolate:
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3-4 tbsp flour (amount depends on the type of milk you use, you'll need more flour if you use skim)
  • 3 heaping tbsp powdered chocolate milk mix (Quik gives the best chocolate flavor in my opinion)
  • 2 cups milk

Preparation:

Combine all ingredients in a pot, mix with a whisk (or a fork if you don't have a whisk) and place on stovetop over medium heat. Stir occasionally until you can hear the milk start to sizzle, then it must be stirred constantly. If it starts to look as if it's going to bubble over, lower the heat a little. continue to stir until the sauce takes on the consistency of gravy; about 5-7 minutes.

To serve, break open or tear apart biscuits and put small bits of butter over all. Spoon or ladle gravy over the biscuits (this will melt the butter). Serve immediately. The gravy will thicken on standing. To reheat, just add a little milk, stir it up and microwave or heat it up on the stove.

I do hope you try and enjoy this recipe. I know our family loves it.
