Excellent recipe! I never would have thought to use pancake mix! I made this with 1/2 pint of oysters so I cut everything in half except the egg. I didn't have "regular" pancake mix so I used whole wheat buttermilk pancake mix. I used a scant 1/4 cup of mix then added a little more, bit by bit until I reached the desired consistency. The whole wheat mix added an extra crunch to the oysters, which was a bit like cornmeal... and very delicious. I added this one to my recipe box & will make it again!

This was fabulous when I made it tonight but I made a few modifications. The total cooking time ended up being closer to an hour than 45 min. I browned the chops, removed them then caramelized the onions, adding 2. t. of sugar & 1/2 t. paprika. Added back the chops, then used 1 c. of beef boullion (used the concentrated paste, Better Than Boullion). Simmered covered 20 min., turned then simmered another 15 min. Removed chops turn heat to high, whisked in a paste made of 2 T butter & 2 T. flour, let it bubble a couple minutes while whisking. Turned down the heat to a simmer, added the chops back in... spooning the gravy over the chops. Covered and simmered another 5 minutes. Placed chops on a platter, gravy in a bowl. Served with steamed new potatoes & green beans. Fabulous! Hubby was thrilled at the new addition to our menu.

Great recipe! The only things I did differently was that I used a hand blender to puree, doubled the spices (from the sugar to the hot sauce), then added a 1/2 c. of 2% milk at the end. EXCELLENT!! I'm saving this one to my recipe box. Thank you!
