COUNTRY-FRIED PORK CHOPS WITH GRAVY

COUNTRY-FRIED PORK CHOPS WITH GRAVY

3 bone-in pork chops
1 tsp Cajun seasoning
1 C self-rising flour
1 tsp garlic salt
freshly ground pepper, to taste
vegetable oil
1 c water

Coat both sides of the pork chops with the Cajun seasoning.  Mix the flour, salt, and pepper together; set aside 3 Tbsp of seasoned flour.  Dredge the pork chops in the seasoned flour.  Pour enough oil to cover pork chops in cast iron frying pan.  Heat to medium high.  Fry pork chops until golden brown, about 8 minutes per side.  Remove chops from the skillet.  Pour out oil from skillet, retaining 4 tablespoons.  Reduce the heat to medium; stir the seasoned flour into the hot oil until flour is browned.  Slow stir in the water; bring to a boil.  Cook 2-3 minutes, stirring until thickened.
