Wiener Schnitzel Recipe (Austrian Style) 🥩 🍋
Ingredients:
-
4 veal cutlets (or pork for variation)
-
Salt and black pepper (to taste)
-
1 cup all-purpose flour
-
2 large eggs
-
1 cup plain breadcrumbs (preferably fresh)
-
1/2 cup clarified butter or vegetable oil (for frying)
-
1 lemon (sliced, for garnish)
-
Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Meat:
-
If the veal cutlets are thick, place them between plastic wrap and pound them to about ¼-inch thickness using a meat mallet.
-
Season both sides of the cutlets with salt and black pepper.
-
-
Set Up the Breading Station:
-
Place flour in one shallow plate, beaten eggs in another, and breadcrumbs in a third plate.
-
Dredge each cutlet in flour, ensuring an even coating. Shake off excess.
-
Dip into beaten eggs, coating both sides thoroughly.
-
Finally, coat with breadcrumbs, gently pressing so they adhere, but do not press too hard.
-
-
Fry the Schnitzel:
-
Heat clarified butter or oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
-
Carefully place the breaded cutlets in the pan, frying one or two at a time.
-
Fry for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Tilt the pan slightly to allow oil to cover the cutlet evenly.
-
Remove and place on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
-
-
Serve:
-
Serve hot with lemon wedges and optionally sprinkle with fresh parsley.
-
Best paired with Austrian potato salad, cucumber salad, or lingonberry sauce.
