Ingredients
- 2 lbs. of veal cutlets trimmed of any sinew
- 1 to 2 whole beaten eggs
- 1/2 to 1 cup of flour
- 2 cups of fine white bread crumbs
- salt
- pepper
- 3 or 4 Tbls. butter or lard
- 2 fresh lemons quartered
Directions
Beat or pound the veal cutlets until very thin.
Lightly salt and pepper the veal cutlets.
Dip the pieces of veal into a dish of the flour, coat both sides and shake off the excess flour.
The flour coating will help the egg coating to adhere.
Dip the pieces of floured veal into the dish of the beaten raw egg and coat both sides.
Press the pieces of veal into a bowl of fine white bread crumbs.
Coat both sides with crumbs.
Let the bread crumbed veal slices dry flat for at least 1/2 hour.
Heat the butter or lard in a large frying pan.
Lard has the advantage of not scorching as easily as butter and lard makes a tastier browned coating.
Sauté the cutlets until they are a golden brown.
The thin cutlets will cook quickly, it will not take long.
Perhaps 4 min. on each side.
You will know when to turn it over, the bottom breading will be a golden brown.
Do not cover finished cutlets with a cover.
The steam will soften the bread crumb coating and it will fall off.
