Wiener Schnitzel

"This is an old Betty Crocker recipe that has been used by our family for years. The page is stained and wrinkled from so much use. Haven't found a better recipe for this traditional recipe yet! My only modification in this recipe is less salt, and we use oil instead of shortening."

Wonderful!!! WOW!! I did add 1/4 tsp dried thyme and 1/4 tsp dried basil to flour mixture, and used panko (Japanese) bread crumbs. I had more flour than I needed, but just the right amount of bread crumbs and egg mixture. Even though I thought 30-40 minutes was too long to cook them, I did so anyway...and they were perfect. I did uncover and cook on higher heat the last 5 minutes to crisp the outside. After serving, squeezing a lemon on top brought out the flavors. This was as good as any Wiener Schnitzel I had in Germany. Definitely a real treat and a keeper.

This is almost exactly the way I generally make Schnitzel. I have not ever included paprika in it before but I shall in future. It added a lovely colour to the fried schnitzel. The only adjustment I made was to dramatically reduce the cooking time as my veal was thin. I thought I would end up with leather if I let it cook for more than 15 minutes total. Made for The Happy Campers CQ4 I don't know what happened but a star fell off. It was really good!!!

This is very good. I waited and waited for the veal to go on sale, finally it was so I made this recipe. My family really liked it especially with the lemon, yum. I have always wanted to try Wiener Schnitzel and it did not dissappoint. Thank you for sharing this recipe with my family and me.

We love Wiener Schnitzel and this one is really delicious! I did add garlic powder in with the flour and it was a great addition!
