Ingredients
Chocolate Gravy
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 3 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
- Pinch of salt
- 2 cups milk
- 3 Tablespoons salted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Southern Buttermilk Biscuits
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 Tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 Tablespoon granulated sugar
- 6 Tablespoons salted butter cubed and cold, plus 3 tablespoons, melted, for brushing
- 1 cup buttermilk cold
Instructions
Southern Buttermilk Biscuits
- Preheat oven to 450°F.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
- Using a pastry cutter or food processor, cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients until crumbs about the size of peas form. Make a well in the center and add the buttermilk, then stir with a spatula or fork just until the dough starts to come together.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead 5 or 6 times. Pat into a rectangle then fold the left third over, then the right side over into an envelope shape. Pat down, turn the dough a quarter turn, and repeat the folding process once more before patting the dough into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
- Cut out biscuits using a circle biscuit cutter, pressing straight down without twisting the cutter, then transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 14-16 minutes until the tops are golden.
- Remove the rolls from the oven and brush with the melted butter, if desired.
Chocolate Gravy
- In a large skillet or sauce pan, whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder, flour, and salt until there are no lumps.
- Pour the milk into the dry ingredients and whisk until combined, then cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened, about 7 to 10 minutes.
- Remove the chocolate gravy from the heat and stir in the butter and vanilla until the butter is melted and combined with the sauce. Serve immediately over buttermilk biscuits.
