Wiener Schnitzel

Ingredients

  • 2 pcs Veal Cutlet
  • 80 g All Purpose Flour
  • 2 pcs Egg
  • 120 g Breadcrumbs
  • 1.5 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 0.5 tsp Black Pepper
  • 250 ml Clarified Butter
  • 1 pcs Lemon
  • 2 tbsp Lingonberry Jam
  • 2 tbsp Parsley

Method

  1. Lay {veal_cutlet} between sheets of parchment and pound with a meat mallet until very thin and even. Pat dry, then season both sides with {kosher_salt} and {black_pepper} so the coating adheres and the meat cooks evenly.
  2. Arrange {all_purpose_flour}, beaten {egg}, and loose {breadcrumbs} in separate shallow dishes. Season the {all_purpose_flour} and {egg} lightly with {kosher_salt} so every layer is flavored.
  3. Dredge {veal_cutlet} in {all_purpose_flour}, dip in {egg}, then coat in {breadcrumbs} without pressing so the crumb stays airy and can ripple in the pan.
  4. Cut {lemon} into wedges and finely chop {parsley} for a fresh finish that lifts the rich crust.
  5. Heat {clarified_butter} in a wide skillet over medium heat to about 170C. Fry {veal_cutlet} one at a time, swirling the pan constantly so hot fat washes over the top. Cook until deep golden and puffed, turning once, and do not crowd or press the meat.
  6. Transfer {veal_cutlet} to a rack or paper towels and rest briefly until the crust is set and the juices settle.
  7. Plate {veal_cutlet} at once, scatter with {parsley}, add {lemon} for squeezing, and serve with {lingonberry_jam} if using for bright, sweet-tart contrast.
