- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions

- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
- Add the Milk:
- Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Cook the Gravy:

Notes
- For a darker, richer flavor, use Dutch-processed cocoa powder.
- Adjust the sweetness by reducing the sugar slightly if desired.

- Great for breakfast but also a fantastic topping for ice cream or pound cake.
