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
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.25 cups Vegetable oil
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Place each veal cutlet between two pieces of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Using a meat mallet, gently pound the veal until it is about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 2
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes. In the first dish, add the flour. In the second, beat the eggs with the milk. In the third, mix the breadcrumbs with the salt and black pepper.
Step 3
Coat each veal cutlet in flour, shaking off any excess. Next, dip it into the egg mixture, ensuring it is completely covered. Finally, press it into the breadcrumb mixture, coating both sides evenly.
Step 4
Heat the butter and vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until hot, but not smoking.
Step 5
Fry the breaded veal cutlets one or two at a time, depending on the size of your skillet, for about 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 6
Transfer the cooked cutlets to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Repeat with the remaining cutlets, adding additional butter and oil to the skillet if necessary.
Step 7
Serve the Wienerschnitzel immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
