Ava's Oklahoma Hillbilly Chocolate Gravy

1/2 to 3/4 cup flour
1/2 to 2/3 cup sugar
1 to 1 1/2 Tbsp cocoa
Dash to 1/2 tsp salt
1/2 to 1 cup milk
1 to 2 Tbsp vanilla
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) of butter (Optional: 1/3 cup Butter flavored or plain
flavored Crisco)

Mix together butter or Crisco, salt, and flour over med. heat. While
keeping mixture blended, mix remaining ingrediants together in seperate
bowl. (same as making regular gravy). Use a whisk to mix cocoa well into
milk. If flour mixture looks as though it's cooking too fast, turn heat
down a little bit. Add Milk mixture to Flour mixture, stirring while
pouring. Keep well blended and mixed. For thicker gravy. Allow for longer
cooking time and let gravy come to boil without stirring but watch closely
so it doesn't scourch or burn. Thickness depends upon preverence. Butter
biscuts then add gravy or visa versa. We've always found it tasted much
better if we poured our hot gravy and slapped butter on top
..
Hope you enjoy this receipe!

Handy Hint: If your gravy gets done before the rest of your meal then take
a pieace of WAX PAPER and lay it over the top of your gravy until serving
time. This will keep your gravy from forming a thick film over the top.
