Barbara's Notes + Tips
- For best results use bone-in thick cut pork chops.
- Make sure to thoroughly cook the flour after you add it to the butter and mushrooms to get rid of the raw flour taste. Cook it for a full minute before adding the milk.
- Don’t skip browning the pork chops! This step brings a depth of rich flavor to both the pork chop and the sauce.
- If all of your pork chops can’t fit in a single layer rotate them half way.
