Grandma's Secret Wiener Schnitzel Recipe

Anyway, it's a really easy and delicious way to prepare chicken or turkey breasts, or even the traditional veal. My husband demands I make it more than I can stand eating it."

  1. This is also very very good with pork medallions. Thats the way my family has always done it. Great recipe!
     
  2. I never thought of adding lemon juice to my schnitzel recipes, but I tried this and it was really good. The only change I made to the recipe was to add lots of Hungarian paprika to the breadcrumbs.
     
  3. I would've given this a 5 rating, but you just HAVE to dip it in flour first, then egg, then crumbs. The pre-flouring ensures that your delicious crumb coating stays perfectly intact on your fried foods (any of them). So, I did that, and followed rest of your recipe to a TEE. Now MY husbands wants this more than I can stand!
     
  4. Yeah, this is a tasty recipe. The last time I made, my hubby said "Hoh yeah, cool!" In an excited way... It's really good, filling, especially with potatoes and a green veggie. Comfort food for all of us, German or otherwise.
     
  5. My Grandmother used to make schnitzel with pork or veal. But she dredged it in flour before dipping the meat in the egg and breadcrumbs. When schnitzel is cooked you should be able to insert a knife between the veal and breading.
