How to Make Schnitzel

This evening Jutta taught me how she makes Schnitzel, a favorite here in Germany.  You start with pork, veal or chicken cutlets.  First you wash and dry them.  These are pork.

Then you pound the smithereens out of them until they are thin and tender.

Season with paprika, salt and pepper.

Next you coat them with flour.

After the flour, you dip them in scrambled egg.

Then you coat them a second time, this time with bread crumbs.

Then heat some oil in your frying pan.

A tip from Jutta’s grandma:  the oil is hot enough when a wooden kitchen tool put into the oil bubbles around the edges.

Then put the breaded cutlets in the oil and fry for 10 minutes on each side.

Enjoy your Schnitzel.  Most restaurants serve several kinds of Schnitzel, served with mushrooms or gravy or other toppings.
