👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
1️⃣ Make the Biscuits (or bake your favorite ready-made)
Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in butter until crumbly. Stir in milk until a soft dough forms. Turn out, pat to 1-inch thickness, cut into rounds, and bake for 10–12 minutes.
2️⃣ Prepare the Chocolate Gravy
In a saucepan, whisk together cocoa, flour, and sugar. Gradually whisk in milk until smooth. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened and bubbling (about 8–10 minutes). Remove from heat, stir in butter and vanilla.
3️⃣ Serve & Pour
