Central European, Main Course Nut Free, Veal Cutlets

Wiener Schnitzel (Austria)

Serves 4

Ingredients

Method

4 Veal Cutlets
Salt and Pepper to Taste
100 g. All-Purpose Flour
3 Large Eggs, Beaten
200 g. Breadcrumbs
500 ml. Vegetable Oil
Lemon Slices for Garnish

Pound the veal cutlets between two pieces of plastic wrap until they are about 1/4 inch thick. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

Dredge each cutlet first in flour, then in the beaten eggs, making sure to let the excess egg drip off, and finally in the breadcrumbs, ensuring each cutlet is fully coated.

In a large, deep skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it's around 165°C (330°F). Be sure there's enough oil to fully submerge the cutlets.

Fry each cutlet until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Drain the cutlets on paper towels and serve garnished with lemon slices.
