    BRAGGIN' RIGHTS CHICKEN FRIED STEAK

    Ingredients
    2 lb Roundsteak, (sliced 1/2 inch-thick and twice-tenderized)
    2 cups All-purpose flour
    2 tsp Baking powder
    1 tsp Baking soda
    1 tsp Fresh ground black pepper
    3/4 tsp salt
    1-1/2 cups buttermilk
    1 large egg
    1 Tbsp hot red pepper sauce
    Crisco for deep frying

    CLASSIC CREAM GRAVY
    1/4 cup Pan drippings
    3 tbsp All-purpose flour
    2 cup Evaporated milk
    1 cup unsalted beef stock
    1/2 tsp fresh group black pepper
    salt to taste

    Recipe



    Directions
    Cut steak into 4 equal portions. Pound until each is about 1/4
    inch thick. Place flour in a shallow bowl. In a second dish, stir
    together baking powder, soda, pepper and salt; mix in buttermilk,
    egg, pepper sauce and garlic. The mixture will be thin. Dredge
    each steak first in flour, then in batter. Dunk steaks back into
    flour and dredge well, patting in the flour until the surface of
    the meat is dry.

    Add enough shortening to a deep cast-iron skillet or Dutch oven
    to deep fry steaks in at least 4 inches of fat. Bring temperature
    of shortening to 325 degrees. Fry the steaks, pushing them under
    the fat or turning them as they bob to the surface, for 7 to 8
    minutes, or until they are golden brown. Drain steaks on paper
    towels and transfer to a platter. Keep warm while preparing
    Classic Cream Gravy. Divide steaks among 4 plates and serve with
    mashed potatoes and gravy.

    CLASSIC CREAM GRAVY:

    After cooking chicken-fried steak or similar dish, pour off the
    top fat through a strainer, leaving about 1/2 cup pan drippings
    in the bottom of the skillet. Return any browned cracklings from
    the strainer to the skillet before starting the gravy.

    Place skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle in the flour, stirring
    to avoid lumps. Add milk and stock. Simmer until liquid is
    thickened and the raw flour taste is gone, about 3 minutes. Stir
    the gravy up from the bottom frequently, scraping up any browned
    bits. Season with pepper and salt. Makes about 3 cups.
