Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
4 (4 oz.) cube steaks
38 saltine crackers (1 sleeve), crushed
1 1/4 cups all purpose flour, divided
1/2 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. salt, divided
1 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper, divided
1/2 tsp. red pepper
4 3/4 cups milk, divided
2 large eggs
3 1/2 cups vegetable oil
Directions:
Directions:
Sprinkle salt and pepper evenly over steaks.Set aside.
Combine cracker crumbs, 1 cup flour, baking powder, 1 tsp. salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper and red pepper.
Whisk together 3/4 cup milk and eggs. Dredge steaks in cracker crumb mixture; dip in milk mixture, and dredge in cracker mixture again.
Pour oil into a 12 inch skillet; heat to 360º. (Do not use a nonstick skillet.)
Fry steaks 10 minutes. Turn and fry 4 to 5 more minutes or until golden brown. Remove to a wire rack on a jellyroll pan. Keep steaks warm in a 225º oven. Carefully drain hot oil, reserving cooked bits and 1 tbsp. drippings in skillet.
Whisk together remaining 1/4 cup flour, 1 tsp. salt, 1 tsp. black pepper, and 4 cups milk. Pour mixture into the reserved drippings in skillet, cook over medium high heat, whisking constantly for 10 to 12 minutes or until thickened. Serve gravy with steaks and mashed potatoes.
TIPS: Firmly push the cube steak down into the cracker crumbs - the crumbs will fill the crevices and keep the steak from shrinking as it cooks.
*It's time to turn the steak when you see juice oozing out the top.
