Authentic German Wiener Schnitzel
- 2 pounds Veal Cutlets
- 2 whole Eggs, Beaten
- 1 cup Flour
- 2 cups Fine White Bread Crumbs
- 1/2 teaspoons Salt
- 1/2 teaspoons Pepper
- 1/2 teaspoons Paprika
- 2 Tablespoons German Medium (mittelsharf) Mustard
- 4 Tablespoons Butter Or Lard
- 1 whole Lemon, Quartered
- Beat or pound the veal cutlets until 1/8 inch thin.
- Lightly salt, pepper and paprika the veal cutlets.
- Spread with a thin layer of German mustard.
- Dip the pieces of veal into a dish of the flour, coat both sides and shake off the excess flour.
- The flour coating will help the egg coating to adhere.
- Dip the pieces of floured veal into the dish of the beaten raw egg and coat both sides.
- Press the pieces of veal into a bowl of fine white bread crumbs.
- Coat both sides with crumbs.
- Let the bread crumbed veal slices dry flat for at least 1/2 hour.
- Heat the butter or lard in a large frying pan.
- I prefer lard.
- Lard has the advantage of not scorching as easily as butter and lard makes a tastier browned coating.
- Saute the cutlets until they are a golden brown.
- The thin cutlets will cook quickly, it will not take long.
- Perhaps 4 minutes on each side.
- You will know when to turn it over, the bottom breading will be a golden brown.
- Serve immediateley topped with lemon quarters.
- Goes uber fantastic with my Creamed Spinach recipe.
