Ingredients

Hamburger patties:

1 ½ lb ground beef
1 tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper

Breading:

2 ¼ cups flour
⅓ cup yellow cornmeal or white cornmeal
2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
¾ tsp black pepper
½ tsp cayenne pepper
2 cups buttermilk
vegetable oil for frying

Gravy:

⅓ cup flour
2 ½ cups whole milk
¾ tsp onion powder
½ tsp salt
½ tsp pepper

Instructions

Mix the ingredients together for the hamburger patties. Divide ground beef into 6 equal pieces and flatten into 1/2-inch-thick patties.
In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, salt, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper for the breading.
Add the buttermilk to a shallow bowl.
Dip patties in breading mixture, then in buttermilk, then dip a second time in the breading mixture, making sure the patties are well coated.
Pour 1/2-inch of oil into a deep cast-iron skillet (or another type of skillet). Heat the oil to 350 degrees.
Fry the patties in the oil, cooking for 3 to 4 minutes per side. Drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
To make gravy, pour off the excess oil, leaving 1/3 cup of oil and the browned bits in the pan.
Add flour and cook over medium heat. Whisk for 1 minute. Whisk in milk, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until thick and bubbly. If you want the gravy thinner, add a little more milk. Makes 6 servings.
