Chef's tricks for perfect batter
- To make the chops larger and beat better, it is recommended to do this under film. An additional advantage of this solution is the absence of meat splashes.
- Many novice cooks make the mistake of beating the meat with the side of the hammer where the large teeth are. They tear the meat and the taste of the chop spoils. Therefore, it is better to use the side with small, closely spaced teeth.
Preparing the batter
- To obtain a more tasty and rich batter, you can place it in the refrigerator for 50-60 minutes.
- If a recipe calls for milk, but there is none, you can resort to a little trick. The batter is mixed with dry milk or, for example, water, to which heavy cream or natural sour cream is added.
How long
- How long to fry pork chops in a frying pan in batter depends on the desired degree of doneness. Minimum two to two and a half minutes, for more golden and very crispy - up to five minutes on each side.
- You can check the readiness of the chops by their nice golden crust. This is also indicated by the softness of the meat and the lack of juice when pierced with a knife or fork.
It is advisable to place the chops on thick napkins or paper towels. In this case, all the fat will be absorbed into them, and the taste will not be interrupted by excess fat.
- Pork chops go well with a variety of side dishes. These can be fresh seasonal or grilled vegetables, as well as pickles, marinades, or just some types of greens.
- If desired, pork chops can not only be fried in a frying pan, but also baked in the oven. For example, under a “cap” of cheese, garlic and tomatoes.
Cooking delicious chops in the oven
Pan-battered pork chops are a simple recipe that still leaves room for creativity. You can experiment with different ingredients to diversify the taste and make such an elementary dish truly unusual.
