While it is true that I currently reside in Philadelphia, I spent my teen years in the suburbs of Atlanta. And from those years, I collected a few things.
Here's one.
Chicken Fried Steak
Ingredients
4 (1/2 pound) beef cube steaks
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon black pepper
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
1 egg
1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce (I use Crystalâ„¢, but choose your own adventure.)
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 cups vegetable shortening for deep frying
For the gravy...
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups milk
kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste
Directions
1: Using a mallet or the flat side of a cleaver, pound the steaks to about 1/4-inch thickness. Place 2 cups of flour in a shallow bowl. Then stir together the baking powder, baking soda, pepper, and salt in a separate shallow bowl. In this bowl, add the buttermilk, egg, hot sauce, and garlic. Dredge each steak first in the flour, then in the batter, and then again in the flour. DO NOT DEVIATE! IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT YOU DOUBLE DIP! Pat the flour onto the surface of each steak so they are completely coated with dry flour.
2: Heat the shortening in a deep cast-iron skillet*. Fry the steaks until evenly golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Place fried steaks on a plate with paper towels to drain. Drain the fat from the skillet, reserving 1/4 cup of the liquid and as much of the solid remnants as possible.
* If you don't have a cast-iron pan, don't panic. A regular pan will do fine. I'm just a cast-iron snob.
3: Return the skillet to medium-low heat with the reserved oil. Whisk the remaining flour into the oil. Scrape the bottom of the pan with a spatula to release solids into the gravy. Stir in the milk, raise the heat to medium, and bring the gravy to a simmer, cook until thick, 6 to 7 minutes. Season with kosher salt and pepper. Spoon the gravy over the steaks, then serve with biscuits, mac & cheese... what have you.
4: Nom. For cereal.
