This was a very easy recipe. However, adding the liquid before baking softened the crust on the chops. I baked 25 min and noticed they had softened. I added a couple minutes twice before giving up. The chops were ok but the batter never crisped back again. I suggest either finishing in skillet or oven without water. I will try this again. -
This turned out wonderfully. I was a little confused on the finishing off in the oven part, but it turned out fine. I saved the pan juices and made a bit of gravy out of it using flour and bouillion. Thanks for giving us a great meal!
