Instructions

  1. Add oil to fryer or deep cast iron skillet leaving oil at least 1.5” from the top to ensure it does not spill over. Heat to 375°F.
  2. In a large bowl, combine milk with 1 tablespoon paprika and 1 tablespoon cumin. Place the pork chunks into the seasoned milk and let sit for 10 minutes.
  3. In another large bowl, combine flour, 2 tablespoons paprika, 1 tablespoon cumin, chipotle powder, salt, and pepper. Dredge pork chunks in seasoned flour mix, shake off excess flour, and place on a plate or baking pan until ready to fry.
  4. Working in batches, add 3 to 4 pieces of pork to the oil and fry for 4 to 5 minutes or until golden brown and cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F.
  5. Heat waffles as directed. Top warm waffles with butter, 2 pieces of fried pork, maple syrup, and a pinch of smoked paprika.
