1
Cover work surface with a sheet of waxed paper.
-
2
Arrange cutlets with a few inches between them on paper.
-
3
Over the cutlets, top with a second sheet of waxed paper.
-
4
Pound cutlets out to 1/4-inch thickness using the bottom of a small heavy skillet or a rubber mallet.
-
5
If they are already 1/4 inch, then you don't have to pound them.
-
6
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Set veal aside and set up 3 disposable pie tins or wide bowls and a plate in a row.
-
7
Place flour in 1 tin and season with salt and pepper.
-
8
In the 2nd tin place the beaten egg with a drizzle of oil and season with salt and pepper.
-
9
In the 3rd tin pour out about 1 cup of cracker meal or crushed corn flakes.
-
10
I use crushed corn flakes that are sold in a box in the supermarket already crushed.
-
11
Dredge the veal completely in flour.
-
12
Then coat the veal evenly with egg on both sides.
-
13
Gently press veal into the cracker meal or crushed corn flakes and rest the coated cutlets on the plate.
-
14
Add a drizzle of oil and 1 1/2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet.
-
15
When the butter foams, add veal and cook 3 to 4 minutes on each side until golden brown all over.
-
16
Remove to a warm plate and sprinkle a little nutmeg over the hot schnitzels.
-
17
Garnish with the lemon wedges, as the lemon wedges are to be squeezed over the schnitzels before eating.
