Method Pork Chops: Dry and coat chops with 2 tsp of oil and seasonings. Dredge in flour, shake off excess and keep flour. Heat 2 tbsp oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat. When hot fry the chops in a single layer until golden on each side 3 - 4 minutes. Remove from skillet and keep warm. Method Gravy: In the same pan add butter then onions and salt.
