Schnitzel is a crispy, golden-brown delight that's simple to make at home. Traditionally made with veal (Wiener Schnitzel), you can also use pork or chicken.

Ingredients:

4 thin cutlets (pounded to ¼-inch thick)

Salt and pepper

½ cup flour

2 eggs (beaten)

1 cup fine breadcrumbs

Vegetable oil or clarified butter (for frying)

Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Meat: Season cutlets with salt and pepper.

2. Breading: Dredge each in flour, dip in beaten eggs, then coat with breadcrumbs. Shake off excess.

3. Fry: Heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry schnitzels for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

4. Serve: Enjoy immediately with lemon wedges, potato salad, or fries.

For extra crispiness, use panko instead of regular breadcrumbs. Want a twist? Try serving it with a creamy mushroom sauce!
