Austrian Wiener Schnitzel

Ingredients

  • 4 veal cutlets
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Place the veal cutlets between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them with a meat mallet until they are about 1/4 inch thick.
  2. Season the cutlets with salt and pepper.
  3. Set up three shallow dishes - one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.
  4. Dredge each cutlet in the flour, then dip it in the eggs, and coat it with breadcrumbs.
