- 4 Veal Schnitzel, Large And Very Thinly Cut
- Salt And Pepper
- 3 Tablespoons All-purpose Flour
- 2 Large Eggs, Plus 1 More If Needed
- 1 loaf Day Old Baguette
- Vegetable Oil Or Lard For Frying
- Place the schnitzels between two pieces of plastic foil and tenderize gently using the bottom of a heavy saucepan.
- Sprinkle chops with salt and pepper.
- Place flour on a large plate.
- In a shallow large bowl, beat eggs very lightly.
- Remove and discard the crust of the baguette.
- Cube bread, place cubes in the food processor and process until you have breadcrumbs.
- Place them on a large plate.
- Start heating oil or lard in a large skillet.
- There should be enough fat inside in order for the schnitzels to be able to swim.
- Check the temperature by inserting the end of a toothpick in the fat, you should be able to see bubbles forming around the toothpick.
- Coat schnitzels with flour, shake to remove the excess.
- Drag through the eggs and coat with the breadcrumbs.
- Press only very, very lightly.
- Start frying immediately after coating.
- Fry briefly until both sides are crispy and golden brown.
- Remove from the skillet and place on a double layer of paper kitchen towels, which will absorb the excess fat.
- Do not put them on top of each other or the coating will become soggy.
- Only start coating the next batch of schnitzels when the previous is almost done.
- Serve with potato salad or parsley potatoes, lemon wedges and green salad.
