Steps:
- Put your cup of flour in a shallow pan and whisk in black pepper, salt and garlic powder. Dredge the pork chops in the flour until fully covered on both sides. Heat oil in a large skillet. Brown chops on both sides, turn down heat, cover your skillet and let cook for about 15 minutes until chops are thoroughly cooked. Remove chops from pan, place on plate and cover to keep warm.
- Make sure you have at least 1/4 cup of drippings in the pan (can add more oil, if needed) Add enough flour to make a roux or paste (I use any leftover flour from dredging plus more if needed). Cook and stir until flour is browned. Add water and milk. Bring to boil and cook to desired thickness for gravy. Makes about 2 1/2 cups gravy. Serve over chops, potatoes, rice, etc.

Tips:
- To ensure the pork chops are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature, which should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, cook the pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side over medium heat, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- To prevent the pork chops from sticking to the pan, make sure the pan is hot before adding the chops, and don't overcrowd the pan.
- For a crispy crust, dredge the pork chops in flour before frying.
- To make the creamy pan gravy, whisk together the flour and milk in a small bowl until smooth, then gradually whisk the mixture into the hot pan drippings.
- Cook the gravy over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it has thickened and reached a simmer.
- Serve the pork chops immediately, topped with the creamy pan gravy.
