Have you ever added your flower to your oil and make a rue from it? Let the flower brown until it’s nutty brown. Then add your milk, you will never have limps and the gravy tastes a little nutty.
Thank you. CFS will be my mellow meal tonight. Vet told me today, my 90 lb dog is on the final stage of his life. Comfort food cures or at least helps. Thank you for your show
Love when you sit the family down to enjoy your cooking creations and a lil’ dialogue between y’all. But, I also understand that the family needs a lil’ UA-cam separation, too. Thanks for being real !
The term for the Milk and Eggs is "Binding Agent". I learned all the "proper" terms in Culinary School... but I'm a Born & Bred Southern Boy....so I just went back to my Down South terms after graduating. You know.... Like "Thing-a-ma-jig"... "Slap and Tickle" (tenderizing and marinating)... Pinch And Tinkle (drove my coworkers mad! They measure everything!) 🤣🤣
What I do is I have the oil in that pan turn down the stove and put flour in and add milk slow as well I never have lumps and its good gravy everyone to it own Thank's for shaving lovely lady 😉🙏🍑🇺🇲🍽⚘🌻
Try this. Add seasoning to the flour, white pepper, thyme, salt, paprika, and dried garlic. For the gravy pan fry some finely chopped onions and garlic then all the milk and flour.
Interesting technique with the flour, I learned to add flour before cream and whisk to breakdown all the flour, then add the cream as a way to keep from getting clumps. Always love learning new ways, keep cooking and have a Blessed day!
Yours is one of the few pleasant places I watch that reminds me of the way I wish America could be these days. That is, hard working, loving families focused on doing good no matter where they live or what they do. I know that's a tall order, but I'd at least like to see a piece of that, and your channel brings that light. Thank you.
sweetie, just use your rolling pin on the cracker crumbs in the bag, and you will save your hand, and get a great crush on the crumbs too!! I have used this for years, you are so right it is delicious!!!!!
I know it's good because my mom made chicken fried steak the same way and the beans the same way " I had to snap them lol" and the mashed potatoes the same way. Never thought I would see cookin like that again but I guess I was wrong lol. BTW my peeps are from NC so maybe that's what it is 😃
A cool trick to avoid lumps: put the strainer with flour into the liquid and whisk from within. It prevents clumping of the flour, as it disperses more smoothly
Hello Ms. Meredith, If you add your flour to the pan drippings, and cook it a few min while stirring, it will release the glutten and make a rew from the flour and oil. Then add the milk or cream and water and stir. (if you use self rising flour the lum[ps will cook out better and easier.
If I didn't know better I would swear we are kin. Maybe distant cousins? We cook just alike. I don't ever measure when I cook, and my recipes are entirely toooo much like yours - simple and delicious. Thank you for turning me on to the chain mail iron skillet cleaner. I'm loving it. Thank you for all of your hard work.
Gosh darn your family is lucky!!! Don't get me wrong, I love my wife and she's a great cook, but cobbler AND Chicken fried steak! As we say here in Minnesota, Oofta! That sounds amazing.
For gravy, I always put the flour in and make a roux first so I can get that flour cooked good (I add salt at this point also), then add the milk. Your gravy looks great though. :-)
I was thought to add the flour to your oil and drippings and cook it for a min then add a small amount of milk stir it together then add the rest of milk and salt a d pepper. Just an FYI
@@ThisFarmWifeCooks when its done that way it permits the flour to cook and brown faster to remove the raw flour taste and adopt the flavor of the drippings and bits remaining in the skillet. Whisk, whisk whisk
Another southern meal.... This coating, your secret ingredient, I have to give this version a try! I get so interested while watching you preparing such delicious recipes, that I let the video end, and then realize I forgot to LIKE the video. So I start the video over..and press the👍. In the kitchen, you are so "real".... You are a natural with the camera. I love your sense of humor....
When I do the flour and milk I put a 8 oz of milk in a glass 2 tablespoons full of flour mix it up real good. Then when you poured into your hot grease it instantly makes gravy add salt and pepper to taste. I also like to have enough gravy to put my steaks back in the gravy for a minute put the lid on and let it simmer for a couple of more minutes, this makes the meat real tender. Really enjoyed watching your show just thought I'd share this with you.
Im a chef from the uk, i onced worked in a michillen starred resturant we were known for our mashed potatoes, theres only 2 ingredients equal weight potatoes and butter plus salt pepper, trust me once you try it youll never add cream half and half or sour cream,
I finally gave in a ordered some musket powder and my fiancé and myself use it more than my Cajun seasonings! I find myself using the Red Label more though since being from South Louisiana!!!
@@ThisFarmWifeCooks my fiance was like what's so great about it and then she smelled it. How this women is a coffee freak lol. I may be ordering more soon.
I had to reorder more Musketpowder,,I ordered 1 of each and it was great on everything.This time I ordered 2 of each and used TFW discount.Told my neighbor about it and he ordered 1 of each and they are now hooked.Most everyone I tell about it has ordered 1 of each and loves it, And Meredith you are right,,,You can not put too much on anything!!Thanks and I subscribe to both channels and love all the videos!!
Yummy yummy in the tummy going to be making this. Miss Annabelle says hi and yummy to. I asked my grandma Binley once why it was called chicken fired steak and she said because of the chicken gravy some people use but she always used the same method that you use. Keep up the great videos
Hi, that looks so good! Thank you for showing all of us. Reminds me of the great meals our Mom would cook up back in the days from my childhood. We ate like small farm kings. Happy farm life to your family & U!
Thanks for sharing, looked great. I see there was a dilemma about the cobbler quality, seems you had to keep going back to check it. Glad you decided it was good enough to share with Lawrence and the kids. Stay safe, wishing you and your family the best.
I do my oysters that way up here in Maryland on the Chesapeake Bay.. and it was my secret to them! But da I never thought about it on cube steak... 🤯 Thanks.. gonna make some..
Hi Meredith. I'm all in on learning this one. I don't have a long handled egg whisker but I do have a fork. Cube steak and flour and this and that - all very doable thank you!
tried the cube steak chicken fries steak but i used cubed pork and all was very good but i need a little more practice doing the gravy,didnt have alot of flavor but it was good for first time. will deffinetly make this again
Fried in tallow might be amazing 😁 I judge a restaurants on their chicken fried steak, usually at breakfast... with over medium eggs. Oof, I’m hungry! Saving this to my Pinterest! This is great!
Thank you for the video's. I'm subscribe to both channels and enjoy them all. Love chicken fried steak but haven't had it in a few years mom use to cook it till she got to sick to cook. Never tried cooking it my self but may try it after this video. Complete dinner looks great and making me hungry at 12:45 am. It's called chicken fried steak because it's coated and fried like chicken.
Mix and cook fat and flour first...it cooks out the flour flavor....then add your preferred liquid! Use these easy to remember measurements: 2 Tbs fat (bacon grease is best) 2 Tbs flour (leftovers from steak breading) 2 cups preferred liquid (whole milk or half n half for cream gravy) Easy to remember 2/2/2
Hey Meredith👋 I LOVE chicken fries steak!❤❤❤ The best eaten food in the world plus u have skillet gray with it, thats meal is totally awesome! My favorite anytime I go out to eat!!! 😆❤👍
I trust a farmer 👍👍 its not even noon yet and I want some , oh man looks yummy yum, yum, we had shepherd's pie last night , only thing is smashed potatoes on the bottom 🤔 I think supposed to be on top? It was good👍👍✌✌🙏🙏❤😝
Good evening Merdie and Family Chicken fried steak looks delicious 😋 as all your dishes do 😊 Lawrence is a lucky man to have a Wonderful Wife like you... Hope Y’all have a Blessed weekend...🤠❤️😘 Love Y’all...
Flour goes in BEFORE the milk. Let the raw flour cook in the grease for a while. LATER add the milk. See other videos about this. The "Chefs" know. They make the best videos. Chefs have videos about mashed potatoes too.
FOR MONTHS I HAVE BEEN USIN BUTTER AND PRETTY MUCH QUIT USIN OIL, THIS IS ONE THING I USE IT ON, BUT MY POINT HERE IS MY DR CHECK UP THE OTHERDAY, MY CHOLESTEROL WAS GREATLY LOWER
Thank you (MAD LOL) Meredith! That looks great, I love "country" fried steak (same thing) and eggs for breakfast! Bonnie just got a nose full of season all.
I'm sure this is already in the comments, but you need to learn how to make a proper rue. Equal butter or oil to flour to milk...such as 2 table spoons oil 2 of flour, 2 cups of milk. Cook flour in oil for 2-3 minutes on low heat, gradually stir in milk whisking it constantly until all mixed well. Let simmer whisking to desired thickness. Salt and pepper to taste. Sorry if this was offensive in any way. You are a wonderful lady!
I don't care what others say; chicken fried steak is one of my all time favorites! Great meal.
Same here!
what makes it good is your southern accent!! That adds flavor to any dish
Have you ever added your flower to your oil and make a rue from it? Let the flower brown until it’s nutty brown. Then add your milk, you will never have limps and the gravy tastes a little nutty.
I need to try it that way!
That’s the way I do it
Yeah this is what I was going to comment. It cooks it down and gets that "flour" taste out of the gravy.
Hot roux, whisk in cold milk, no lumps!
Meredith
ANYTHING you cook and bake is amazingly scrumptious
agreed!
Thank you. CFS will be my mellow meal tonight. Vet told me today, my 90 lb dog is on the final stage of his life. Comfort food cures or at least helps. Thank you for your show

It is easier to add flour and let brown then add milk and stir till done.

Meredith, your cooking this meal caused tears in my eyes, just like my mother’s cooking. Great job.
Aw, thank you!

I need to do it that way!
@@ThisFarmWifeCooks I agree with Meredeth's way. GREAT stress relief! Where else can you punch something and not get in trouble? LOL!
I have never, ever seen gravy made this way but your technique makes perfect sense.
Wow I just finished lunch and watched your video, and I'm hungryyyyyyy again...yummmmmm
Haha sorry!
i know that feeling
Great video 👍 , the fun you have cooking , enjoy , thank you ! 10-4 , Bob
Glad you enjoyed it!
We just ordered musket powder for the second time!! We love it! Thank you for sharing your recipes with us!
Thanks for your orders! Thanks for using TFW at checkout!
Yippee!🥳

Try adding the flour to the hot oil and cook a minute then add the milk. Flavor will be so good .
Wow. What a meal after a hard day on the farm. LB is one blessed man!
Watching a video of you preparing food makes this my best birthday ever! :)
Aw, Happy belated Birthday! Hope it was great!

The flour goes in the grease first for the gravy. Brown the flour to cook off the raw flour taste. Then add milk.
A cool trick to avoid lumps: put the strainer with flour into the liquid and whisk from within. It prevents clumping of the flour, as it disperses more smoothly
I can just eat a meal watch one of your videos Meredith and I'm hungry all over again😋
Hello Ms. Meredith, If you add your flour to the pan drippings, and cook it a few min while stirring, it will release the glutten and make a rew from the flour and oil. Then add the milk or cream and water and stir. (if you use self rising flour the lum[ps will cook out better and easier.

I like watching your cooking videos cause you cook like most people without all the fancy things
using a sieve to get flour in the skillet for gravy to avoid lumps is a great idea👌🌹
THANK YOU FOR ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO MEREDITH , THAT LOOKS TASTY , EVERY ONE PLEASE KEEP SAFE , XXX .
Gosh darn your family is lucky!!! Don't get me wrong, I love my wife and she's a great cook, but cobbler AND Chicken fried steak! As we say here in Minnesota, Oofta! That sounds amazing.
Haha, I like that saying!
oofta!
Awesome lookin' meal MB!!! You got it! Chicken Fried Steak cause you fry the steak... just like you do chicken! Dredge it, Dip it, Fry it!!! :-)
that sounds delicious
Dinners ready, and half the dessert is all ready gone. Love it! Love your recipes!
Yay! Thank you!
Thanks for the tips and tricks! Hope your late supper was delicious! Take care!
Thank you! You too!
We always called it either chicken fried steak or country fried steak it’s the same thing. A staple in southern homes
For gravy, I always put the flour in and make a roux first so I can get that flour cooked good (I add salt at this point also), then add the milk. Your gravy looks great though. :-)

That's what my mom taught me back in the early 60's too, but it looks great either way.
I've got to start doing it that way evidently :D

The Zip-locks n Saltines are the "key" when egging n frying I do it with flounder too :-) be well.
That looks amazing I order that Everytime I go to cracker barrel for dinner thank you for sharing love your videos.
Looks good, a meal fit for a king.
FYI Musket powder is the bomb in gravy,you have me hooked on musket powder I have 6 bottles in the cabinet and I use it every day.
Yay! I'm telling you, it's great with everything!
thanks for your order and thank you for using TFW code to help the channel!

great idea, should have been obvious to me thinking that if you use corn starch instead of flour the liquid always has to be cold.
Smashed pork rinds work well too
thats a new one, trying that
Looks good Merdi

Will try that!

Looks absolutely delicous. Instead of saltines try Ritz crackers for a different taste, it's all good, yummy.
Good recipe with saltines.
Try adding flour to grease 1st and make a light roux then add milk and let thicken..
