Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds pork scallops, divided by 4 and pounded thin as for scaloppini
1/2 cup flour
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup fine dry bread crumbs
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons sunflower or canola oil
3 tablespoons butter
1 lemon

Directions

Place flour, eggs, and bread crumbs in 3 individual shallow dishes. Season cutlets with salt and pepper. Dredge in flour, shake of excess, dredge through egg, and last in bread crumbs.

Heat the oil in large skillet, add butter, and heat until foam subsides. Add 1 Schnitzel at a time to pan, brown from both sides about 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to plate lined with paper towels and place in 250 degree F oven to keep warm. Repeat with other Schnitzel. Serve with lemon wedges.

Variation:

Wiener Schnitzel a la Holstein:

4 eggs
4 to 8 anchovies
8 teaspoons capers, if desired

Fry eggs and top each cutlet with an egg. Top with 1or 2 anchovy fillets and sprinkle with capers, to taste.

who says there's an egg on a Wiener Schnitzel?
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

Sorry, there's no fried egg on a Wiener Schnitzel. Really not. I'm German. There can be a slice of lemon, or a slice of lemon... with a piece of anchovy ... or in some rural areas they put brown gravy on it (which is not the original way to serve it) - but for sure no fried egg!!!Read more

Great results with VEAL
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Fifteen recipes for Viener Schnitzel and not one was for VEAL. The recipe was very good. Make sure the veal is fresh, lean,... and well trimmed.Read more
