Fried Pork Chops with Milk Gravy

Pork Chops dipped in buttermilk, dredged in seasoned flour and fried to golden perfect. You’d think we would have stopped there but… no. Making and adding a homemade milk gravy to those delicious chops added another layer of flavour and kicked it up to comfort food status.

The pork chops I used were large and very thick. Since our chops were ridiculously thick we decided to pound them slightly to thin them. We wanted them to be done on the inside and still achieve a golden brown coating on the outside. It worked perfectly.

The Milk Gravy…

After the pork chops are fried, drain the oil from the pan reserving 1/4 cup. Don’t wash or remove any bits from the pan , that all contributes to the flavor of the gravy. The Milk Gravy comes together quickly. After whisking the flour, salt and pepper into the oil in the pan it’s just a matter of adding the milk slowly while whisking and waiting a few minutes until it thickens slightly.

Fried Pork Chops with Milk Gravy… comfort food at it’s best. ENJOY!
