Pork Chops and Scalloped Potatoes

NOTE:  This turned out really dry.  Why??  Solutions?  UPDATE:  I cut up and used the dry, leftover pork chops in another recipe that turned out really good. 

3 tablespoons butter, divided 
1 1/2 teaspoons salt 
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper 
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 
1 (14.5 ounce) can chicken broth 
6 pork chops 
6 cups thinly sliced potatoes
1 dash paprika



Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).  

In sauce pan melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Add salt, pepper and flour. Pour in the chicken broth, cook and stir until mixture boils. Remove from heat and set aside. 

In skillet brown pork chops in 1 tablespoon butter. Grease a cooking dish with the remaining tablespoon butter and layer potatoes. Pour mixture over potatoes and place browned chops on top. Sprinkle paprika on top.  

Cover and bake for 1 hour. Uncover and bake for an additional 30 minutes.

Blackberry Cobbler (or is it pie?)

My friends and I have had an ongoing debate about the difference between pie and cobbler.  This recipe is from the "A Taste of Georgia" recipe book published in 1977 by the Newnan Junior Service League.  It is called Blackberry Cobbler, but according to this website, I've been making it into Blackberry Pie because I put a pastry crust on the bottom!  All I know for sure is, this is THE BEST DESSERT ON THE PLANET!
