Easy Gluten-free Chocolate Gravy Dumplings


kid favorite
I made a batch of gluten-free chicken and dumplings using my "go-to" gluten-free biscuit mix Bisquick. I even used Betty's recipe. While eating the scrumptious chicken and dumplings my hubby had the idea of making the same dish using chocolate gravy . Chocolate Gravy is a favorite with my kids. They are all grown up and still L.O.V.E. chocolate gravy. I thought it a good idea, easier than making biscuits and gravy separately. Easy Gluten-free Chocolate Gravy Dumplings are the result of his imaginative flavor palette! Please try it for yourself with this recipe.

Gravy:
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup baking cocoa
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • pinch of salt
  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 2 cups milk
Dumplings:
  • 3/4 cup Bisquick® Gluten Free mix
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted 
  • 1 egg
  1. In a large frying pan combine sugar, cocoa, cornstarch, and salt.
  2. Whisk in the milk and butter. Before putting on stove, complete step 3.
  3. In small bowl, stir dumpling ingredients with fork until blended. 
  4. Place frying pan with gravy ingredients on medium heat and bring to light boil. Reduce heat to low.
  5. Gently drop dumpling dough by 8-12 rounded spoonfuls onto boiling gravy mixture.
  6. Cook uncovered over low heat 10 minutes. Cover and cook 10-15 minutes longer.
  7. Spoon dumplings onto plate and cover with gravy. 
  8. Spoon additional butter over hot gravy if desired.

Disclaimer: I am not a doctor. This is not medical advice.
 Last week my family suffered the most horrendous stomach flu known to man! Our 3-month old granddaughter got it first, then her mom, then me, then my husband, then my son-in-law, then my mom and finally my dad. The only person in our immediate family that didn't get it was my other daughter, my dachshund who looks like a sweet sleeping prince and my grand-dog who reminds me

The Best Medicine

hide-and-seek
Did you miss me last week? I missed you! I was greener than a toad frog on a lily pad with the worst case of stomach flu ever! The only virus I've had comparable to food poisoning. Last Wednesday I hardly knew I was alive. My sweet family had it too. I hid myself
