Chicken fried steak



Served with fried onions and peppers.  


Or on a bun.



Ingredients:

1 cup of milk
2 eggs
3 cups of corn flake crumbs
Salt
Pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 cup of canola
2-3 pounds of steak

We used a sirloin tip roast and cut it into thin pieces. Then pounded the pieces.

You will need 4 plates. Mix the milk with the eggs in one; the crumbs mixed with the salt, black pepper, paprika and cayenne in another; and the meat in a third. Then have one clean plate at the end to place the breaded meat.

Work with one piece of meat at a time. Place each piece one at a time in the crumb mixture. Turn to coat. Place the meat into the milk/egg mixture, turning to coat. Finally, place it back in the crumbs and turn to coat (dry mixture/wet mixture/dry mixture). Place the breaded meat on the clean plate, then repeat with the remaining meat.

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.  Cook the meat, 3 pieces at a time, until the edges start to look golden brown, about 2 minutes each side. Remove the meat to a paper towel-lined plate and keep them warm by covering lightly with another plate or a sheet of foil. Repeat until all the meat is cooked.

Cousin Marion's Wheaten bread





Wheaten bread
2 cups of whole wheat flour
1 cup white flour
1/2 cup of oatmeal
1 big spoon of sugar
2 tsp of baking powder
2 tsp baking soda
1tsp salt
Approx 2+ cups of buttermilk

Mix dry ingredients well.
Add buttermilk with an egg beat up in it, add till it has a doughy consistency.
Knead it in a floury table.
Put on a grease/floured baking tray.
Bake approx 45 mins at 375 degrees. Stick a knife or tooth pick in it to see if it is dough free! It's ready!
Take out of oven and wrap it n damp clean dish cloth!

For Irish soda bread. It's 3 cups of white flour, 2 handfuls of sultanas! Same method as the wheaten! Good luck!
