Ingredients
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the white sugar, self‑rising flour, and cocoa powder until smooth.
- Add the milk gradually, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
- Melt the butter in the saucepan and stir it into the mixture.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens to a syrupy consistency, about 5–7 minutes.
- Transfer the chocolate syrup to a serving dish and serve warm over freshly baked biscuits or enjoy it on its own.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer chocolate flavor, consider using dark cocoa instead of regular cocoa powder. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can substitute with all-purpose flour and add 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt. Stir the mixture continuously to avoid scorching, especially as it thickens. This chocolate syrup can also be used as a topping for ice cream or pancakes.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the warm chocolate syrup generously over freshly baked biscuits for a delightful treat. It also pairs beautifully with Mammy'S Applesauce Cake for a comforting dessert. For a complete breakfast or brunch experience, offer alongside fresh fruit or a dollop of whipped cream to enhance the flavors.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover chocolate syrup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. To reheat, simply warm it gently in a saucepan over low heat, stirring until it reaches the desired consistency. You can also microwave it in short intervals, stirring in between, to ensure even heating.
