Ingredients

4 veal cutlets (about 4 ounces each), pounded very thin, scallopini style
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons water
2 cups plain, dry bread crumbs
Vegetable oil, for frying
Lemon wedges, for service

Directions

Pat the veal cutlets dry with paper towels. Season them with salt and pepper. Set up a standard breading procedure in 3 shallow bowls or pie plates. Put flour in 1, eggs and water in another, and bread crumbs in the last. Beat the eggs and water together. Dredge each of the veal cutlets first in flour, then egg wash and then the bread crumbs. Transfer the coated cutlets to a platter.

Heat a large straight sided skillet, filled half way up with vegetable oil, over medium-high heat. Carefully, transfer the coated cutlets into the hot oil to fry. Since they are so thin, the veal will cook very quickly, about 2 minutes per side. Drain the cutlets on a paper towel lined plate. Serve with lemon wedges.

Good simple schnitzal recipe
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Simple and good. There are other schnitzel recipes out there that are much more complicated but in my opinion don't taste any... better. That's why I love Paula's recipes. Easy, fast and just fantastic. I also add a pinch of nutmeg to the egg mixture. This recipe can be used for pork or chicken, too.Read more

Awesome schnitzel!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This schnitzel was easy to make and turned out perfectly. My German husband loved it, and insists that I always use this... recipe when I make schnitzel. And you really don't need a heavy sauce to go with it. Just squeeze some lemon juice over it, and it is very tasty.Read more

Tasty, fast, and easy!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This dish was delicious. Very quick to prepare - a little messy with the breading but that is to be expected. We will... certainly make it again. (This recipe is so basic that it would also be good with tomato sauce and cheese as veal parm) Thanks, Paula!Read more
