Wiener Schnitzel Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Veal

    Place the veal cutlets between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound them to about 1/4 inch thick.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    Set up three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs. Season the flour with salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Bread the Cutlets

    Dredge each veal cutlet in flour, shaking off excess. Dip into the beaten eggs, then coat with breadcrumbs, pressing lightly to adhere.

  4. 4

    Fry the Schnitzels

    In a large skillet, heat butter and vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the breaded cutlets, cooking for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

  5. 5

    Drain and Serve

    Remove schnitzels from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
