Thin veal cutlet pounded, breaded in flour, egg, and breadcrumbs, then pan-fried to a golden, crispy perfection in clarified butter.

Ingredients

  • 4 veal cutlets, about 150g each
  • 100g all-purpose flour
  • 3 eggs, beaten
  • 200g fine breadcrumbs
  • 100g clarified butter
  • 1 lemon, quartered
  • Salt
  • Lingonberry jam for serving
  • Fresh parsley sprigs

Instructions

  1. 1 Place veal cutlets between sheets of cling film and pound with a meat mallet until uniformly thin, about five millimeters thick.
  2. 2 Season cutlets with salt on both sides. Set up three dishes: flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs in sequence.
  3. 3 Dredge each cutlet in flour, shake off excess, dip in egg, then press into breadcrumbs to coat evenly on all sides.
  4. 4 Heat clarified butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. The butter should be deep enough to float the schnitzel.
  5. 5 Fry each schnitzel for three minutes per side, gently swirling the pan so the breading puffs and turns golden brown.
  6. 6 Drain briefly on paper towels, serve immediately with lemon wedges, lingonberry jam, and parsley.

In Liechtenstein, the schnitzel debate mirrors the wider German-speaking world: some insist on veal, while others happily substitute chicken or turkey.
