Wiener Schnitzel

Takes 40 minutes | Serves 4 |

A classic, crispy Wiener Schnitzel recipe, perfect for a quick and delicious meal. Serve with lemon slices for an authentic touch. Common Wiener schnitzel side dishes include cucumber salad, potato salad, and fries.

Ingredients

  • 4 150 g veal cutlets
  • 0.5 dl
  • 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 units
  • 50 g breadcrumbs
  • some for frying
  • 4 slices lemon slices

Steps

    Preparation

    • Pound the cutlets to less then 1 cm thickness between sheets of plastic wrap using a heavy flat-surfaced pan, rolling pin, or meat mallet.
    • Set up three shallow dishes for breading: mix the flour and salt in the first dish, beaten eggs in the second, and breadcrumbs in the third.
    • Heat at least 0,5 cm of oil to 175°C in a large skillet, about 8 minutes until the oil shimmers and smokes slightly.

    Cooking

    • Dredge cutlets in flour, dip in egg, then roll in breadcrumbs. Do not press the breadcrumbs into the meat.
    • Fry the schnitzel in hot oil without crowding the pan, 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden brown and the meat reaches an internal temperature of 62°C.
    • Remove from pan, allow to drain off oil, and serve with lemon slices.
