Helping Mom in the kitchen..

Callie, what are you doing Mom. Those biscuits sure look yummy..
Louie, Mom this is getting boring.. Are you going to drop anything?
Blueman, also bored with all this.. When is it going to be done?
Mom was busy in the kitchen on Sunday making brunch for the kids.. She was busy making a German Egg Cake with bacon.. It sure smelt yummy in the kitchen..

Ok Mom thought she would post the chicken fried steak recipe although Mom has a problem with measuring anything she will give you the drift of it.

1. Get some cube steak.
2. Egg mixture - 4 or 5 eggs in a bowl - whip them up with a bit of milk..
3. Flour mixture - equal parts of all purpose flour and pancake mix. (The pancake mix seems to make the batter a bit fluffy)
Salt, Pepper, Mrs Dash, (whatever seasoning you like) put this right into the flour mixture.
4. Dip cube steak into the eggs then into the flour, back in the eggs and then back into the flour patting it so it is quite thick..
5. Drop this into a cast iron skillet with a pretty deep layer of hot grease. (Cast iron seems to get hot enough and makes the coating a bit crispier than other pans)
6. Fry till done, flipping frequently..
I usually serve this with mashed potatoes, white gravy and a vegie of your choice..
As you can see it is hard to duplicate Mom's cooking since she doesn't use those measuring cups much... Her Grandmother taught her how to cook when she was young and Grandma didn't even own a measuring cup..
