Wiener Schnitzel

Wiener Schnitzel is one of my all-time favorite foods to eat. I use either veal or pork cutlets (would be good with chicken, also) which I pound very thin, then dredge in flour, dip in a couple eggs beaten with cream, pat with seasoned breadcrumbs and then fry in hot melted butter on both sides until golden brown. I enjoy mine with lemon and capers and with Kartoffelsalat Family Favorite Potato Salad! (German Kartoffelsalat) and Gurkensalat Cucumber Salad With Sour Cream and Chives (German Gurkensalat). Authentic recipe is easily doubled, tripled, etc. Note: Measurements are approximate. Bon appetit!
