Southern Fried Pork Chops

Ingredients

4 bone in pork chops (1/2 inch think) (you can also use 8 thin cut boneless chops if you prefer) 

1 C. all purpose flour

1/2 C. Canola or vegetable oil (enough to cover bottom of pan for frying) 

2 Tbsp. butter

1 tsp. seasoned salt (extra to season chops to taste) 

1 tsp. black pepper (extra to season chops to taste) 

cayenne pepper to taste (optional) 

Directions

1) Season salt and pepper both sides of the pork chops.

2) Combine all dry ingredients. Dredge each side of the pork chops in the flour mixture, then set aside on a plate. Or dredge before going into the oil (less dishes this way)

3) Heat canola / vegetable oil over medium - high heat. Add butter. When butter is melted and butter/oil mixture is hot, cook 2 - 3 pork chops at a time, 4-5 minutes on the first side; 3-5 minutes on the other side. (Make sure no pink juices remain) Remove to a plate covered with a paper towel and repeat with remaining pork chops.
