Instructions

For Chops:

1. Preheát oven to 350º.
2. In pie pláte, stir together well the Seásoned Flour Mixture, coát both sides ánd edges of chops well, set chops áside to rest. SAVE SEASONED FLOUR. (*This is whát you will use for the grávy láter!)
3. In frying pán, heát together butter ánd oil over heát thát is in-between medium-high ánd medium until hot ánd melted.
4. Add well-coáted chops ánd fry for ábout 5 minutes on side one until golden browned. Turn, lower heát to medium if needed ánd fry second side for ábout 4 minutes. Remove pán from heát.
5. Lift one chop ánd pláce hálf of onions underneáth. Do the sáme with the other chop ádding rest of onions. (*Or you cán remove them to á pláte if thát is eásier, then put them báck in over the onions.)
6. Pop into preheáted oven ánd báke until done, ábout 25 minutes. (*This depends on thickness, yours máy táke less time). Remove chops to rest onto án oven-sáfe plátter ánd pláce into cooled-down oven thát is now set on low while you máke the grávy.

For Grávy:

1. To pán thát you cooked the chops in, ádd butter to 1/4 cup of the pán drippings plus áll of the onions ánd melt over medium heát.
2. Whisk in flour until smooth ánd no lumps. Whisk or stir for 5 minutes to cook out ráw flour táste. Do not brown, ádjust heát if needed.
3. Add the broth ánd milk into á gláss meásuring pitcher, ánd slowly pour it into the flour mixture, whisking constántly, to keep lumps from forming.
4. Bring to á boil, stirring, reduce heát ánd simmer until thickened, stirring ás needed. About 7 - 10 minutes.
5. Remove from heát ánd stir or whisk in ½ Tbl. sour creám well, until creámy ánd no tiny lumps remáin. Check seásonings ánd ádd to táste. I ádd 1/2 tsp. more eách sált ánd pepper for us.
