Ingredients

• 4 pieces Veal cutlets
• 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
• 5 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 0.25 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

Place the veal cutlets between two sheets of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet, gently pound the cutlets to approximately 1/4-inch thickness.

Step 2

Set up a breading station with three shallow plates: one with the flour, one with beaten eggs and milk, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Dip each veal cutlet first in the flour, shaking off excess, then into the egg mixture, and finally into the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere. Place breaded cutlets on a plate and set aside.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, fry the cutlets in batches, about 2-3 minutes per side, until they are golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 5

In a small saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the lemon juice and chicken or vegetable broth, whisking to combine.

Step 6

Simmer the sauce for 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat. Stir in the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter, one piece at a time, until the sauce is smooth and glossy.

Step 7

Serve the Wiener Schnitzel hot, drizzled with the lemon-butter sauce and garnished with chopped parsley. Provide lemon wedges on the side for additional flavor.
