Wiener schnitzel

A traditional Austrian dish consisting of a thin, breaded, and fried veal cutlet.

Instructions

  1. Place each veal cutlet between two sheets of plastic wrap. Gently pound with a meat mallet or rolling pin until about 1/4-inch (6mm) thick.
  2. Prepare a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs and milk, and one with breadcrumbs.
  3. Season the flour with salt and pepper. Dredge each veal cutlet in the flour, shaking off any excess.
  4. Dip the floured cutlets into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.
  5. Coat the cutlets in breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere. Shake off any excess.
  6. Heat the vegetable oil or clarified butter in a large pan over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  7. Fry the breaded cutlets, one or two at a time, for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Transfer the schnitzels to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
  9. Serve immediately with lemon wedges and garnish with parsley sprigs.
