Be sure you use the flat side of a mallet and piece of plastic wrap on top of the loin when pounding the meat out.
  2. In a large, shallow bowl or pan whisk together the milk, eggs, spices, salt and sugar together.
  3. Add the tenderloin to the milk mixture making sure the pork is completely covered and marinate 4 hours.
  4. Blend crackers in a food processor to make coarse crumbs then transfer to a shallow dish.
  5. Put flour mixed with salt in a shallow dish.
  6. Heat 1 inch of oil in a frying pan on medium heat.
  7. Take each piece of pork and dredge both sides in the flour, then dip back into the milk mixture, and then coat each side in the cracker crumbs.
