- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter (cubed)
- 3/4 cup cold buttermilk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 450°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the biscuits: In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add buttermilk, form a dough, pat to 1-inch thickness, and cut out biscuits. Bake for 12–14 minutes.

- Assemble: Split warm biscuits and top with chocolate gravy. Serve hot.
Notes
- For a richer gravy, use half-and-half instead of milk.
- Add a pinch of cinnamon for a cozy twist.
- Leftover gravy can be reheated gently on the stovetop.
