743 | Pork Chops, Plain.
—Take six thick pork chops, pare and flatten them nicely, then season with a pinch of salt and a pinch of pepper one hour before using them. Put them in a sautoire with one ounce of butter, and let cook on the stove for six minutes on each side. Arrange the chops on a hot dish, skim off the fat from the gravy, and add half a cupful of broth to the lean part. Let come to a boil, strain over the chops, and serve.
