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

We can read the history of written recipes way back into distant history, in truth as far back as early Egypt, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these early recipes were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for meal preparation.

Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a few documents which described recipes cooked by the Romans. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals were split into hors d`oeuvre, main meal and afters, something we still use today. Additionally, he informs us how the cooks of Roman times made use of a good variety of aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks for example thyme, mint and dill.

For the next few years, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe tried to offer the most extravagent meals, and as a result cooks and their collection of recipes increased in prestige. Even so, it wasn`t until the 19th century that formal cookery and recipe collections reached a high level of popularity. Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collecting, trying out, and publishing recipes common in their social group.

By the advent of the twentieth century, cookery publications were starting to become popular mostly as a result of increased literacy, people having more free time and a general increase in wealth.
