Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces pork cutlets
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons plant-based milk
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 cups vegetable oil
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
Instructions
1. Prepare the pork cutlets by pounding them with a meat tenderizer until they are about 1/4 inch thick. This ensures they cook evenly and remain tender.
2. In a shallow dish, mix the all-purpose flour with 1 teaspoon of salt and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper.
3. In a separate shallow bowl, beat the eggs and mix in the plant-based milk to create an egg wash.
4. In a third shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs with the remaining 0.5 teaspoon of salt, 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper, and the paprika.
5. Dredge each pork cutlet in the flour mixture, ensuring both sides are lightly coated. Shake off the excess.
6. Dip the floured pork cutlet into the egg wash, allowing any excess to drip off.
7. Finally, press the cutlets into the breadcrumb mixture, making sure both sides are well-coated and pat down to adhere the crumbs.
8. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should be about 0.25 inches deep.
9. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the breaded pork cutlets into the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and fully cooked. Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
10. Transfer the cooked schnitzels to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
11. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the schnitzel. Enjoy!
