1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 cubed steaks (4-ounce)
38 saltine crackers crushed (about 1 sleeve)
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour divided
2 teaspoons salt divided
1 1/2 teaspoons ground black pepper divided
1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
4 3/4 cups milk divided
1 cup peanut oil Recipe
Sprinkle salt and pepper evenly over steaks. Set aside. Combine crackers, 1 cup flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, red pepper, and baking powder.
Whisk together 3/4 cup milk and eggs. Dredge steaks in cracker mixture; dip in milk mixture, and dredge again in cracker mixture.
Pour oil into a 12-inch skillet; heat to 360 degree. (Do not use a nonstick skillet.) Fry steaks 2 to 3 minutes. Turn and fry 2 to 3 minutes or until golden. Remove steaks to a wire rack in a jellyroll pan. Keep steaks warm in a 225 degree oven. Carefully drain hot oil, reserving cooked bits and 1 tablespoon drippings in skillet.
Whisk together remaining 4 cups milk, 1/4 cup flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper. Add to reserved drippings in skillet; cook, whisking constantly, over medium-high heat, 10 to 12 minutes or until thickened. Serve over steaks and mashed potatoes. Makes 4 servings
