Biscuits and Chocolate Gravy
Biscuits and Chocolate Gravy is a classic Southern breakfast treat that combines tender homemade biscuits with a rich and creamy chocolate gravy. The gravy is made with butter, cocoa powder, flour, sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt, cooked to a thick and velvety consistency. Serve it over warm, freshly baked biscuits for a comforting and indulgent start to the day.
