Description: This recipe holds a special place in my heart as it has been passed down through generations, starting with my nanny, then to my momma, and now to me. It’s a nostalgic journey back to my childhood, where I would watch them cook in the kitchen, using their instincts rather than precise measurements.
Ingredients:
- 1 to 1 1/2 cups flour
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 to 10 pork chops
- Oil for frying
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Coating: In a paper bag or ziplock bag, combine the flour, salt, and pepper. Shake well to mix the ingredients evenly.
-
Coat the Pork Chops: Place a couple of pork chops into the bag with the flour mixture. Shake the bag vigorously to coat the chops evenly with the seasoned flour. Set aside.
-
Heat the Oil: In a skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it’s hot and shimmering.
-
Fry the Chops: Carefully place the coated pork chops into the hot oil. Fry them for about 5 to 10 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
-
Turn Frequently: To ensure even cooking and browning, turn the chops every 2 to 3 minutes during frying.
-
Drain Excess Oil: Once the pork chops are cooked, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels. This will help absorb any excess oil.
-
Keep Warm: If cooking multiple batches, you can keep the fried pork chops warm by placing them in a preheated oven until all batches are done.
