Chicken Fried Steak Dredge

Wet:
1-2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons hot sauce (Frank's or Cholula work well, Tabasco if you like)

Mix together in a medium bowl.

Dry:
1 1/2 - 2 cups of flour
6-8 mashed up saltine crackers
1 teaspoon paprika (or smoked paprika)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
1 teaspoon season salt

Whisk together and pour onto a plate for dredging.

A good tip is to let the steaks sit for about 15 mins after dredging before frying. I usually fry in vegetable oil, making sure the cast iron skillet and oil are preheated, and then backing off the temp a bit before cooking. Cook until golden brown and delicious, turning once. Drain on newspaper or paper towels.
