I remember stopping at a truck stop cafe on I-45 in Huntsville and ordering biscuits and gravy. The waitress called me "sugar" and "hon."
She brought the biscuits on a plate and big bowl of white pan gravy with a spoon stuck in middle, sitting straight up in the gravy. It was the best biscuits and gravy I've ever had.
You all made me hungry for chicken fried steak so I made it last night. I had never added baking powder to the flour so I gave it a try and Wow it made the coating a lot thicker and more crunchy will be adding it from now on thanks for the tip.
If you deep fry it, instead of pan fry it, the breading is "bumpier" for lack of a better term.
I learned this from K-Bobs. I couldn't figure out why their chicken fried steak breading looked different than mine.
As for baking powder, my mother told me they used to put it in eggs during the war (WW II) to make scrambled eggs fluffier and to make one egg seem like more. I tried it, and it works.
