Breaded Veal Wiener Schnitzel Recipes

Steps:

• Place veal cutlets, one piece at a time, between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound until thin, about 1/4 inch thick.
• Slice lemon in half and squeeze lemon juice over all four pieces of veal.
• Allow the veal to sit in lemon juice for 30 minutes.
• Allow excess lemon juice to drip off before breading the cutlets.
• Sprinkle a pinch of salt over each cutlet.
• Place flour in a large shallow plate.
• Beat eggs, water, and vegetable oil in a large shallow bowl. ~NOTE~ The vegetable oil helps to hold the breading on securely and to make the breading crisp.
• Place breadcrumbs in a large shallow plate.
• one at a time, dip salted cutlet into the flour and lightly cover each side with flour.
• Then dip the cutlet into the egg mixture, allowing the excess egg to drip off.
• Then dredge into the breadcrumb mixture to coat.
• Place breaded cutlets on a baking sheet and low to stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Heat shortening in a large heavy skillet.
• There should be enough oil in the pan for the cutlets to "swim".
• When the oil is hot, place one or two cutlets in the skillet at a time, being careful not to crowd the cutlets.
• Fry first side slowly until golden brown, about 4-6 minutes.
• Turn cutlets over with a spatula, being careful not to splatter hot oil.
• Fry on second side for about 4-6 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Drain on paper towels.
• If you have more cutlets to fry, then place finished cutlets in a piece of foil and keep warm in the oven at 250°F while you continue to fry up the rest of the cutlets.

Steps:

• Place each veal cutlet between two pieces of plastic wrap, and pound with the flat side of a meat mallet until about 1/4 inch thick. Dip in flour to coat.
• In a medium bowl, stir together the Parmesan cheese, eggs, parsley, salt, pepper, nutmeg and milk. Place bread crumbs on a plate. Dip each cutlet into the egg mixture, then press in the bread crumbs to coat. Place coated cutlets on a plate and refrigerate for 1 hour or overnight.
• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the breaded cutlets until browned on each side, about 3 minutes per side. Remove to a serving platter, and pour the pan juices over them. Garnish with lemon slices.

Steps:

• Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place veal on a clean work surface and sprinkle with lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
• Place flour in a flat dish. Beat egg and parsley together in a second dish. Place bread crumbs in a third dish. Dredge each veal cutlet first in flour, then in egg-parsley mixture, followed by bread crumbs, pressing down so that bread crumbs adhere.
• Spray the basket of the air fryer with nonstick cooking spray. Place breaded veal cutlets into the basket, making sure not to overcrowd. Spray the tops with nonstick cooking spray.
• Cook for 5 minutes. Flip, spray any chalky spots with nonstick cooking spray, and cook for 5 minutes longer. Repeat with remaining veal. Serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• 1. Pound veal slices with a meat hammer until very thin (about 1/8-inch thick), then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• 2. Place flour into a shallow dish and dip veal slices into flour. Shake off excess flour. Dip veal into egg mixture, then roll in bread crumbs, coating well, and set aside.
• 3. Heat 1/4 cup oil in a large skillet, then add as many veal slices as will fit.
• 4. Cook over medium heat 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until browned. Remove veal from pan and place on paper towels to remove excess oil.
• 5. Repeat, adding more oil as necessary, until all veal slices are browned.
• 6. Serve on a preheated platter garnished with lemon wedges, parsley, and baby tomatoes. After serving, squeeze lemon over schnitzel.

Steps:

• When flouring and breading do not press them into the meat, especially the breadcrumbs.
• Ensure that there is enough oil or lard for the meat to "float" in it, it will absorb less oil than if it sticks to the bottom, and allows the coating to puff a little around the meat.
• Heat at least 1/4 inch of oil in the pan to 350°F.
• Working one at a time, dredge cutlets first in flour until the surface is completely dry. Dip in egg to coat, allow the excess to drip off for a few seconds and then roll quickly in the breadcrumbs until coated. Do not press breadcrumbs into the meat. Place meat immediately in the pan with the hot oil. Do not crowd the pan. Cook the schnitzel in batches, if necessary.
• Fry the schnitzel for 3-4 minutes on one side. You may want to swish them around a little with your fork to make sure they are not sticking to the pan. Turn them over once and fry until both sides are golden brown. Remove from pan, allow the oil to drain off, place on a plate with lemon slices and potato salad or green salad and serve.
