The key to this dish lies in selecting the right ingredients, focusing on quality and freshness. I’ve learned from my mom that even humble ingredients can turn into something magical with a little love.
- 4 bone-in pork chops, about 1-inch thick
- 1 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand or homemade)
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Season the pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned. Remove and set aside.
- In a bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk, melted butter, and egg. Pour into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Pour the cornbread batter into the skillet, spreading it evenly.
- Place the seared pork chops on top of the cornbread batter.
- Brush the pork chops generously with BBQ sauce.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cornbread is golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
