Wiener Schnitzel - Breaded Veal Cutlet Recipe
Flavors of Austria
Total time: 15 to 30 minutes
Prep. time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: A few minutes
Difficulty: Easy
Chef's Note
Always use a flat mallet to beat the meat; a ribbed surface damages the meat’s structure, causing it to lose moisture while cooking.
After frying, put the Schnitzels in a preheated oven for about a minute.
Ingredients
For 4 servings
- 4 Veal scaloppini (cutlets), about 150 g (5 oz.) each
- Salt and pepper
- 80 g (3 oz.) / 2/3 cup flour
- 1 or 2 eggs
- 1 tbsp. milk
- 1 tsp. oil
- 80 g (3 oz.) bread crumbs

Method
- Make incisions along the edge of the meat, beat it soft, salt it.
- Breading: dip in the flour on both sides, then turn in beaten egg, and immerse in the breadcrumbs.
- Frying: fry in the hot oil for about 5 minutes each side, until golden brown, or deep-fry in a fryer.
