SOUTHERN GRAVY

Cut steak into serving pieces. Pound steak thoroughly. Mix eggs and milk. Dip meat into egg mixture, then into cracker crumbs. Brown, slowly, on both sides in hot shortening. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover tightly, and cook over very low heat 45 to 60 minutes or until tender. Serve with Southern Gravy over steaks.

Gravy: Make ready mix by combining first 3 ingredients in medium bowl. Store at room temperature in pint jar with tight fitting lid.
