Ingredients:
2 large eggs
2 cups buttermilk
salt
pepper
1 cup flour
1 cup cracker meal
2 beef cutlet, hand-tenderized ( 3 oz. to 5 oz.)
vegetable shortening
1/4 cup reserved drippings or 1/2 cup shortening
1/4 cup flour
1 quart milk
salt
pepper

Directions:
Whip together egg, buttermilk, salt and pepper in a large bowl; set aside.
Blend together flour and cracker meal in another bowl.
Place cutlet in mixture, and cover both sides well.
Submerge the cutlet in the egg batter; then place back in the flour mixture, patting both sides again evenly to coat.
Melt shortening in a deep fryer (or cast-iron skillet), and heat to 325 F.
Place cutlet in fryer and fry until it floats and turns golden.
Remove steak from fryer, drain well, reserving 1/2 cup drippings for gravy.
To Make Cream Gravy: Place reserved drippings in a 10 inch cast-iron skillet, and heat until hot.
Gradually add flour, and cook over low heat until mixture turns brown, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
Add remaining ingredients, and cook, stirring constantly, until thick.
If gravy gets too thick, thin to desired consistency with water.
Note: This recipe makes enough gravy for 4 steaks.
