Chocolate Gravy Recipe


Ingredients

3 tbsp cocoa
1 cup sugar
2 tbsp flour
2 cup milk
2 tbsp butter
2 tsp vanilla extract


Directions

Mix the cocoa, sugar, and flour together. Add the milk, making sure
it mixes smoothly. Heat (medium) and stir constantly until it
thickens. This takes about 8 minutes. Take off of heat. Add butter.
Stir until it is melted and mixed. Add vanilla and stir until mixed.

Serve hot over buttered biscuits. Buttered toast will do in a pinch.

Notes: This is an almost lost Ozark classic. It hardly ever shows up
in ethnic or regional cookbooks.

If this cools, it becomes something else: chocolate pudding!

Chocolate gravy is a great way to make sure your kids get their
minimum daily requirement of sugar!


Servings: 1 batch

The History of Recipes

Academics have tracked the existance of recipes way back into ancient history, certainly as far back into history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, these, old records were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.

Interestingly, the oldest recipe found, according to Professor Solomon Katz, are some ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian describing the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made those who drank it feel blissful and exhilarated.

During Roman times around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled some scripts detailing recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his publication, Apicius tells us how the roman meals were split into hors d`oeuvres, entrees and desserts, something we still use today. This early Roman chef tells us how the Roman chefs made use of many herbs and spices, including some familiar names like basil, fennel and dill.

In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and spices from the East, such as basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations caused an outbreak in recipe books, most of which are kept safe in private cookery archives.

During the succeeding few hundred years, the rich families of Europe competed to serve up the most extravagent banquests, and as a result cooks and their collection of recipes were highly sought after. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the 1800s that cookery and recipe books became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collating, verifying, and writing down recipes to help cooks of their time.

By the arrival of the 1900s, recipe books were highly popular as a result of increased literacy, people having more free time and being a little richer.
