Ingredients
- 4 pieces pork chops
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, combine the unsweetened almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Stir and let sit for 5 minutes to create a dairy-free buttermilk substitute.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs thoroughly.
Step 3
In another shallow dish, mix together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Step 4
Rinse pork chops under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
Step 5
Dip each pork chop into the buttermilk mixture, ensuring they are well-coated.
Step 6
Next, dredge the pork chops in the flour mixture, pressing the flour firmly onto the chops to create a good coating.
Step 7
Dip the floured pork chops into the beaten eggs, then again into the flour mixture for a double-dipped coating.
Step 8
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
Step 9
Carefully place the coated pork chops in the hot oil, being cautious of splatters.
Step 10
Fry the pork chops for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F and are golden brown and crispy.
Step 11
Remove the pork chops from the skillet and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Step 12
Let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving for a juicy, tender result.
