First you melt, between half a stick of butter to a whole stick of butter. Depends how rich and creamy and buttery you want it. I usually go for a whole stick. Then you whisk in three tablespoons of flour. When it turns into a paste, you add half a cup of sugar and fourth cup of dutch process cocoa powder. I prefer semi-sweet. I whisk this together with milk. I kind of eye-ball it, but it's around two cups. It should start thickening up. Once it's to the desired thickness (keep in mind that it'll get thicker while it cools), remove it from the heat and add a couple teaspoons of vanilla. Whisk it together. I like to add the vanilla at the end so the flavor is pretty strong and not cooked off.Andrew Thorntonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04191233443131580096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31223185.post-33684987490647666332008-12-29T00:15:00.000-08:002008-12-29T00:15:00.000-08:00Hey Jobee,Our time was pretty dang good.
