Chef's tips
Keep whisking so the bottom does not burn. Take it off the heat as soon as it coats a spoon, and use fresh warm biscuits.
Storage
Refrigerate leftover gravy in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Reheating
Reheat gently on the stovetop, whisking in a splash of milk to loosen.
Common mistakes to avoid
- •Using heat that is too high and burning the cocoa
- •Letting the gravy get too thick on the stovetop before taking it off the heat
