Ingredients
For the Pork Chops
- .5 oz Smithfield® Anytime Favorites® Hickory Smoked Boneless Pork Chops
- salt and pepper
- 1 cup cornstarch
- 3 cups all-purpose flour divided
- ½ cup beef broth or stock
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- vegetable oil for frying
For the Cream Gravy
- 2 tablespoon bacon grease or butter, or oil
- 3 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
Instructions
Prepare the Pork Chops
- In a large sturdy skillet (i.e., cast-iron), heat about 1-inch of vegetable oil to 350°F.
- Meanwhile, lightly season the pork chops all over with salt and pepper. Set aside
- Place the cornstarch on a platter and 1½ cups of flour mixed with a healthy pinch of salt and pepper on a second platter, or plate.
- In a medium-sized bowl or baking dish, add 1½ cups flour and mix in the stock, milk, egg, chili powder, paprika, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper. Stir until fully combined.
- Dredge each cutlet through the corn starch, and then submerge them into the wet batter. Let excess batter drip off the chops, and then dredge through the seasoned flour.
- Place in the hot oil and cook, flipping occasionally, until golden brown and crispy on the outside. About 8 to 10 minutes total. Drain on paper towels.
Make the Cream Gravy
- In a large skillet, melt the grease over medium heat.
- Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute (it should resemble wet sand).
- Whisk in the milk and cream and continue whisking until smooth. Cook, stirring often, until thickened, about 4 minutes. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and pepper, each.
Notes
- These also make amazing sandwiches. Toast hamburger buns and smear a little gravy on them and serve with extra gravy on the side for dipping.
- The gravy can be made up to one day in advance. Reheat on the stove over medium heat.
- Leftovers will keep in the fridge, covered, for up to 5 days.
