chops ahoy

I love simple recipes and this is definitely one of them. I love it that the ingredients are so easy to find (which may seldom be the case since you may already have them all at home) and it still tastes good. This blog entry is for me to place a copy of the recipe in this blog and for me to put more recipes that I owe Lynette. Hihi.

5 center-cut pork chops (1/2 to ¾ inch thick)
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 ½ teaspoons salt
2 eggs
1 cup oil
1 cup full cream milk (small can of Alpine evaporated milk would do)
¼ cup water

1) Sprinkle pork chops with 1 teaspoon pepper on both sides.
2) On a separate container, mix flour, 2 teaspoons salt and ½ teaspoon pepper. Reserve 3 tablespoons from flour mixture for gravy. In a small bowl, beat the eggs.
3) In a skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat until hot. As the oil heats up, dredge pork chops in eggs and then in flour mixture to coat thoroughly.
4) Cook pork chops in batches until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer pork chops to a plate to drain and season with ¼ teaspoon salt.
5) Discard all but ¼ cup drippings from skillet, leaving any browned bits in skillet. Reduce heat to medium and stir in reserved flour mixture. Cook stirring until flour is golden brown for about 1 minute. Whisk in milk and water and heat to boiling. Reduce heat and simmer until gravy reaches desired thickness, whisking in remaining ½ teaspoon pepper and ¼ teaspoon salt. Serve gravy immediately with pork chops.
