  • 2 Teaspoon kosher salt

  • 1 1/2 Teaspoon Ground pepper

  • 1/2 Cup whole milk

  In a cast iron pan over high heat on the stovetop, add the oil and heat to 375℉ on a frying thermometer. Reduce the heat to medium-high.

  Ingredients

  Submerge the pork chops in the bowl with eggs and milk, then dredge both sides in the flour mixture. Shake off any excess flour.

• Step 5

  Slide the pork chops into the hot oil, and fry until golden brown on both sides, 2 minutes per side.
