Whisk together sugars, cocoa powder, flour, and salt in a medium-sized saucepan until lump-free. While whisking, pour in the milk and whisk until smooth.
¾ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup light brown sugar, ¼ cup cocoa powder¹, 3 Tablespoons all purpose flour, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 ½ cups whole milk
Turn stovetop heat to medium and cook, whisking almost constantly, until the mixture has thickened to a gravy-like consistency and the whisk leaves tracks through the chocolate.
Remove gravy from the heat and vanilla extract and butter, one piece at a time, whisking after each addition until incorporated.
Chocolate gravy will thicken as it cools. Serve warm over biscuits. See note for storing/reheating tips.

Notes
¹Cocoa Powder
You may use Dutch processed or regular unsweetened cocoa powder for this recipe. I personally prefer Dutch processed, it gives the chocolate gravy a more robust flavor and a darker appearance.
Storing
Leftover chocolate gravy can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave before using.
