Fried Pork Sandwiches by Nita

4 slices (about 1 pound) boneless pork chops, or pork tenderloin, cubed or
pounded
1/2 cup buttermilk (not lowfat)
1/2 to 1 teaspoon salt, to taste
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, to taste
1/4 teaspoon paprika (optional)
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
1 cup self-rising flour (more if needed)
1 or 2 fresh eggs, lightly beaten with 1 teaspoon water

Peanut Oil for frying

Seeded Sandwich Rolls (4)
Mayonnaise
Catsup
Mustard
Lettuce (optional)
Sliced Tomatoes (optional)
Sweet Sandwich Pickles

Prepare pork by trimming of excess fat and any bone. Buy it or have it
cubed, or pound it thoroughly on both sides -- I like to use a clean glass
Coca-Cola bottle for this purpose (turned upside down). Place pork in a
bowl and marinade it in the buttermilk for about 20 minutes. Remove pork
from buttermilk; drain it well. Preheat Oven to 350 Degrees F. Sprinkle
pork with salt, black pepper, paprika and garlic powder -- Give the
buttermilk to your dog or cat unless you also plan to fry some green
tomatoes. If you do, reserve the buttermilk. Place egg in a bowl with 1
teaspoon water. Lightly beat it. Place flour in another bowl. (I like to
add a sprinkling of salt and black pepper to the flour also.) In a large
heavy skillet over medium heat, heat enough Peanut Oil to halfway cover
the chops. Test for right temperature by dropping 2 or 3 drops of water
into the hot oil. When it sizzles, you will know it is ready.

Now use one of the three following methods to coat your pork. The choice
is yours:

1. Dip pork into egg, drain off excess; coat well with flour and place
pork in hot oil.

2. Lightly coat pork with flour, dip it into the egg and then coat it with
flour AGAIN and place in hot oil.

Do NOT overcrowd the pan. With an egg turner or spatula, lift each chop
gently as it begins to fry on each side. Do NOT turn. Turn only when the
pork is medium brown on each side. Avoid turning more than once for best
results. When meat is done, remove it to a RACK to drain off excess
grease. Place seeded rolls (4) in oven at 350 Degrees F. to warm. To
assemble, offer: mayonnaise, catsup, mustard, pickles, lettuce, tomato
slices. Serve with: Potato Chips

Note: Cubed or Round Steak is cooked the same way.
