Step 1
Pork tenderloin usually comes in two pieces. Slice each piece of pork crosswise into 4 (or chunks.
Step 2
Place each piece of pork flat on a cutting board. Start to slice each piece in half, but stop short of doing so, leaving the pork about an inch connected.
Step 3
Open each piece like a book, and use the flat side of a meat mallet to pound each piece of pork flat to about 1/2" thickness.
Step 4
In a bowl, mix together the flour, cornstarch and spices. Mix well.
Step 5
Pour 1 cup of buttermilk into another bowl.
Step 6
Take a piece of pork tenderloin and dunk it into the buttermilk.
Step 7
Then place the pork in the flour mixture and turn to coat.
Step 8
Place the pork on a plate to rest. The pork should rest for 10 minutes before frying. This helps the coating stay on the pork during cooking.
Step 9

Step 10
When the oil is hot, place the breaded pork in the frying pan and allow it to cook for 3-4 minutes.
Step 11
Turn the pork to cook on the other side and cook an additional 3-4 minutes or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit. *The exact timing will depend on how thin you've pounded the pork.*
