German Wiener Schnitzel
To clarify the name: 'Wiener' is derived from the word 'Wien,' which is the Austrian city known as Vienna. 'Schnitzel' essentially refers to meat coated in a crispy crust. I'm German, and I hope my English description is clear. You can enjoy these schnitzels with a side of salad, ketchup, and French fries.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds veal
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 eggs
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- 4 cups bread crumbs
- ⅛ cup oil for frying
Instructions
- Cut the veal into steaks, about as thick as your finger. Dredge in flour. In a shallow dish, beat the eggs with 1 tablespoon oil, salt and pepper. Coat the veal with egg mixture, then with bread crumbs.
- Heat 1/4 cup oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Fry veal until golden brown, about 5 minutes on each side.
