Easy Biscuits and Chocolate Gravy Recipe (2024)

Here is a recipe for biscuits that only require 2 ingredients and is topped with chocolate gravy from my friend Vickie!

I got married to my husband at a very young age and without the knowledge of how to cook. Oh, I knew the basics –how to scramble some eggs, make a pancake, etc. but not how to make any great dinners. I was, and still am, very clumsy and Mother would give me the privilege of cleaning up the kitchen instead of making dinner. Worked great till I married! It was then I asked Mother how she made something and she would say a pinch of this and scoop of that. Not something a young bride needed to hear, I needed exact measurements!

So I started buying cookbooks from stores and garage sales. When I ate something I really liked I requested the recipe from the cook. A few times I was told it was a secret family recipe, but more often they were so pleased I asked them, they went and wrote it down right then for me. So over the years my file of recipes has grown to include some very tasty dinners.

Still, I longed to make my Mother-in-law’s homemade biscuits and I had that longing over 30 years! We would go on vacation and I would watch her mix, take a small handful of dough and roll it around in her hands, then put the dough in a pan, and give each biscuit a little pat. Beautifully shaped biscuits went into the oven and out came the most delightful moist biscuits. Every time we came back home I would give it another try for a week or more, then go back to cracking open that can of biscuits.

One day a friend gave me a biscuit recipe to try. One so easy I just had to give it a try. The biscuits, I think, equal my Mother-in-law’s. Okay, really in my mind I think they top them!

One of our favorite breakfasts was Chocolate Gravy and Biscuits growing up. I happened to be at Mom’s house one morning when Dad requested this wonderful breakfast. I just knew my husband would love it if only I knew the recipe. So every time Mom put something in the skillet I made her measure. Now this recipe can be handed down through the next generation to love and enjoy. Now mind you it’s not like a sausage gravy; it’s more of a pudding. Wonderful.
