Fried Pork Chops

Yield:
8 Servings

Categories:
Pork,
Ham




Ingredients:





     8    Pork chops -- 3/4 inch


          Thick


          About 4 pounds  -


          Salt


          Black pepper -- freshly


          Ground


     2 c  All-purpose flour


          Vegetable oil


          Paprika






 1)  Trim the excess fat from the edges of the pork chops.  Sprinkle them


 generously with salt and pepper.


 


 2)  Season the flour generously with salt and pepper.  Dredge the pork


 chops in flour until coated on all sides. Shake off any excess flour. Pour


 enough vegetable oil into a heavy deep skillet (cast-iron is perfect) to


 fill it to 1 inch.  Heat over medium heat to 375oF.  (A small cube of bread


 dropped in the oil will brown in about 30 seconds.)


 


 3)  Add only as many of the pork chops to the skillet as will fit without


 touching.  Cook  them, turning them once, until cooked through (no trace of


 pink remaining in the center) and deep golden brown, about 12 minutes. Use


 a long-handled fork or tongs to prevent getting splattered.


 


 4)  Remove the pork chops from the skillet to drain.  Sprinkle them with


 paprika and serve hot.
