This is a splendid, basic, breaded pork chop recipe. I made a few changes to adapt the flavor to my family's tastes that I don't think in any way affected the nature of the results. First, I used bone-in chops. Second, I used Italian seasoning and garlic instead of seasoned salt because I don't care for most seasoned salts. I think that there is great potential to adapt this recipe for any set of culinary tastes by simply varying the seasoning this way. Third, being a little short of the self-rising flour I subbed in about 1/2 a cup of cornbread mix. I always like the crunchy texture of cornmeal in breading anyway. The soaking in buttermilk is the key -- the flavor it added was subtle and rich. The breading held on very well through the frying process and the holding in the oven while I fried two more batches for my big family plus guest.

Even though I haven't been here for a long time, MY recipes aren't up for adoption. :) And don't change any of them either. ;)
