Pork Cream Schnitzel

DiLo's Note:

Doesn't it sound great? I got this from an old cookbook produced in a Mennonite community, but I'm not sure if it's a true Mennonite recipe or not, so forgive me if not. It's very good!

This was great! I used bone in pork steaks and replaced the cornstarch with xanath gum to lower the carb count. Will definitely make again.

This was great! I'm not one for cornstarch usually, as I feel it tends to make things gooey. The taste was great and it went well with the noodles. Thanks for posting this!
