Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:

Pound the veal cutlets until thin. Season with salt and black pepper. Set up three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.

2. Bread and Fry the Schnitzel:

Coat each cutlet in flour, dip into beaten eggs, then coat with breadcrumbs. Heat oil in a pan and fry the breaded cutlets until golden brown on both sides.

3. Serve:

Serve the Wiener Schnitzel hot with a slice of lemon. Accompany with your choice of sides, like potato salad or lingonberry sauce.

Tips:

  • Use veal cutlets of even thickness for consistent cooking.
  • Press breadcrumbs firmly onto the cutlets for better adherence.
  • Drain the schnitzel on paper towels after frying to remove excess oil.
