Wiener Schnitzel

Wiener Schnitzel is a classic Austrian dish made with breaded and fried veal cutlets.

Ingredients

  • Lemon wedges (for serving)
  • Vegetable oil (1 cup, for frying)
  • Black pepper (1/2 teaspoon)

Instructions

  1. Season the veal cutlets with salt and black pepper.
  2. Dredge each cutlet in flour, shaking off any excess.
  3. Dip the cutlets into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.
  4. Coat the cutlets in breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
  5. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  6. Fry the cutlets for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
