Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Veal cutlets
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
- 5 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 0.25 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
Instructions
Place the veal cutlets between two sheets of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet, gently pound the cutlets to approximately 1/4-inch thickness.
Set up a breading station with three shallow plates: one with the flour, one with beaten eggs and milk, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with salt and black pepper.
Dip each veal cutlet first in the flour, shaking off excess, then into the egg mixture, and finally into the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere. Place breaded cutlets on a plate and set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, fry the cutlets in batches, about 2-3 minutes per side, until they are golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
In a small saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the lemon juice and chicken or vegetable broth, whisking to combine.
Simmer the sauce for 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat. Stir in the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter, one piece at a time, until the sauce is smooth and glossy.
Serve the Wiener Schnitzel hot, drizzled with the lemon-butter sauce and garnished with chopped parsley. Provide lemon wedges on the side for additional flavor.
