WIENERSCHNITZEL (BREADED VEAL CUTLETS)



Wienerschnitzel (Breaded Veal Cutlets) image

This recipe is almost identical to what I had at an authentic German restaraunt. The recipe comes from "The German Cookbook" by Mimi Sheraton, which I altered slightly. I like to serve it with fried German potatoes and a melody of peas, carrots and corn.

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 veal cutlets
1 lemon
salt, to taste
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup fine dry breadcrumb
4 tablespoons vegetable shortening (more might be needed depending on the size of your pan)

  • 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.

BREADED VEAL WIENER SCHNITZEL



Breaded Veal Wiener Schnitzel image

Except in Vienna, where boiled beef is popular, Wiener Schnitzel is the favorite meat in Austria. The word schnitzel simply means "a sliver," and thrifty cooks make their schnitzels from thin slices of pork or beef. True Wiener Schnitzel, however, is a veal scallop. From Cooking The Austrian Way by Helen Hughes.

TRUE WIENER SCHNITZEL (BREADED VEAL SCALLOPS - AUSTRIA)



True Wiener Schnitzel (Breaded Veal Scallops - Austria) image

The ingredients are basic and simple but the method is what gives you a perfect schnitzel. Simplicity at its best. Use the best meat and fresh oil or lard. There are others with these ingredients but I have not found one yet that focuses on the importance of the preparation. You need to have a light shell of breading, rather than a heavy coating. See the prep notes.

Provided by MarraMamba

Categories     German

Time 18m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 veal cutlets, pounded to 1/4 inch thickness (traditional, about 5 oz. each, you may use chicken or pork, as well)
1/4 cup flour (all purpose or brown rice)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
2 eggs
oil (lard is traditional) or lard (for frying, lard is traditional)

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.

Tips:

  • To ensure the schnitzel is evenly cooked, use a meat mallet to pound it to an even thickness.
  • Use high-quality bread crumbs for the best flavor and texture.
  • Season the bread crumbs with salt, pepper, and paprika for extra flavor.
  • Press the bread crumbs firmly onto the schnitzel so they adhere well.
  • Use a large skillet with enough oil to prevent the schnitzel from sticking.
  • Cook the schnitzel over medium heat so it cooks through without burning.
  • Serve the schnitzel immediately with your favorite sides.
