Ingredients

  • 2 lb veal cutlets
  • ½ cup (50-60g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 heaping cup (100g) breadcrumbs
  • Butter for frying
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 lemon, sliced

Instructions

  • Lay each veal cutlet between sheets of plastic wrap, and pound with the flat side of a meat mallet as thin as possible without tearing them. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Prepare three shallow bowls or plates. Put the flour in one plate, whisked eggs in another one, and breadcrumbs in the third plate. Dredge each cutlet in the flour shaking off the excess, then dunk it in the egg and lastly coat with the breadcrumbs, once again shaking off the excess. The key is to immediately fry the cutlet after it has been breaded. In this way the coating won't stick to the veal.
  • Melt butter in a non-stick frying pan and cook the breaded cutlet until browned and cooked through, for about 2-3 minutes on each side. Cook time depends on the thickness of your cutlets. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate and cover with foil till you are cooking other ones. Serve with a lemon slice. Enjoy!
