Recipe for Wiener Schnitzel housewife style. Surely you have often tried to fry a good Wiener Schnitzel. However, there are a few tricks to keep in mind.
Ingredients for 4 Wiener Schnitzel
- 4 large pork cutlets
- salt and pepper
- 1 to 2 eggs
- about 4 to 6 tablespoons of breadcrumbs
- about 4 to 6 tablespoons of wheat flour
- about 250 grams of butter or margarine for frying as well
- 4 slices of lemon for garnish
Preparation of the Wiener Schnitzel
- First, get all the ingredients ready, as well as a cutting board and two bowls. The schnitzel is then beaten on both sides with a meat mallet to close the meat pores and seasoned with a pinch of salt and pepper on both sides.
- Now mix the egg or the 2 eggs with a whisk or a fork in a bowl. You can also add salt and pepper to the scrambled eggs (this will distribute the spice better).
- Then fill another bowl with wheat flour or with breadcrumbs. Now the escalopes are placed from both sides into the bowl with the wheat flour, then place the escalopes from both sides into the egg mixture, and finally into the breadcrumbs. Make sure that the schnitzel is very well coated with breadcrumbs. Also, note our tips for breading schnitzel.
- Then prepare a pan in which you can sauté either the butter or the margarine, as you prefer. Then put the escalopes in and let them fry on both sides until they are crispy. Then arrange the schnitzel on the plates, each with a slice of lemon.
Side dishes for the Wiener Schnitzel
- Potatoes, mashed potatoes, red cabbage, cauliflower, peas, and carrots go very well with Wiener Schnitzel.
- An original Wiener Schnitzel is actually made with veal but is more expensive
- Cranberries are very good for conjuring up a certain something when serving the schnitzel.
