Note

For extra crispiness, let the floured pork sit for 5 minutes before frying to allow the coating to adhere better.

Ensure your internal temperature reaches 145ðF (63ðC) for safe consumption of pork.

You can substitute the butter with oil if you prefer a lighter texture, though butter adds superior flavor.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet to maintain crispiness.
