There is one very important thing to say: It is indifferent what sort of oil/butter you use. The fact is, you have to let the Schnitzel swim in it. At least there have to be about 1/2 inch of it. In Germany we use to take sunflower oil or Buttarina (something like the indian ghee-butter/=butter without milk-ingredients). Meat: Classically you have to take veal (Wiener Schnitzel), but most people prefer pork (Schnitzel Wiener Style). Best meat imho are at least 1 inch thick slices of the "Nuss". If you don't know what this is, go at google.de, search for "schwein nuss" and take a look at the first two results. There are pictures showing. Finally quarter a lemon, so everybody could squeeze it for him/herselfs taste over the Schnitzel. Typically in Germany we eat Schnitzel with french fries and salad.

This just gets better every time I make it. I usually add the salt, pepper, & paprika into the flour instead of directly unto the meat. I find that if I pay attention & make sure the meat is completely coated after each round (flour, egg, breadcrumbs), the coating stays intact while frying and ends up perfectly crisp. I try to flip only once in the pan, after 7 or 8 minutes. Thanks for a delicious, exsy recipe.

Hard as it may be, I'd give my last piece of schnitzel to my husband because he's the kind of guy who'd get out of a warm, toasty bed to put away the leftovers I forgot about just so I don't get all cold.
