Ingredients
For the Pork Chops
- 4 boneless pork chops
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Vegetable oil for frying
For the Gravy
- 2 tablespoons pan drippings
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
Prepare the pork chops
- Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. This helps the coating stick better during frying.
Season the flour
- In a shallow bowl, mix flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder and paprika until evenly combined.
Make egg mixture
- In another bowl, whisk eggs and buttermilk until smooth. This helps create a crispy coating.
Coat the pork chops
- Dip each pork chop into flour, then egg mixture, then flour again for double coating.
Heat the oil
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until hot enough for frying.
Fry the pork chops
- Cook pork chops for 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked inside.
Make the gravy
- Remove extra oil, leaving drippings. Add flour and whisk in milk until smooth and creamy.
Serve hot
- Pour warm gravy over crispy pork chops and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use boneless chops for faster cooking
- Let coated pork rest before frying
- Add cayenne pepper for heat
- Use cast iron skillet for even frying
- Do not overcrowd the pan
- Keep fried chops warm in the oven
- Serve gravy on the side if preferred
