Step 1
Pat pork chops dry with paper towels. Place between plastic wrap and pound to 1/2-inch thickness using a meat mallet.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, combine flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
In another shallow bowl, whisk together eggs and milk.
Step 4
Dip each pork chop into the egg mixture, then coat thoroughly with the seasoned flour, pressing gently to adhere.
Step 5
Heat vegetable oil in a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Step 6
Fry pork chops 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 145°F. Transfer to a plate.
Step 7
Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of drippings from the skillet. Sprinkle flour over the drippings and whisk constantly for 1 minute over medium heat.
Step 8
Gradually add milk while whisking to prevent lumps. Simmer 2-3 minutes until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 9
Return pork chops to the skillet briefly to coat with gravy, or serve gravy on the side.
