Kimber Scotland· last year

Definitely made too much batter and the flour... Would have been fine for double the steaks the recipe called for. I had 6 and probably threw half the ingredients for the batter and flour to dip the steaks in, out. It was just too much. And it definitely needed seasoning in the flour, not necessarily in the batter. Didn't make the gravy Used coconut oil to fry.

I added more spice to the flour coating a dash of chili powder dash Cheyenne, dash poultry seasoning. Not a lot just a little because I enjoy spice and flavor.

Make a half batch of gravy and maybe add a bit more flour to it.
