This brings back memories of my grandmother. She used to make
this quite often, although a lot of times we didn't have milk
and she would make it with water and it was just as good.

Directions
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. In a medium bowl, combine

well mixed. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
Knead lightly 2 or 3 times. Roll out the dough with a floured
rolling pin to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut dough into circles with
a 2-inch cutter. Place the biscuits in a greased iron skillet.
Gently press down the top of the biscuits. Brush the biscuits
with half the melted butter and bake for 14 minutes or until
golden brown. Brush the hot biscuits with the remaining butter.
Split the biscuits in half and ladle Chocolate Gravy over the
hot biscuits.
