Wiener Schnitzel is Not a Hot Dog!
Have you ever had a “wiener schnitzel” hot dog?
Actually the word “Wiener Schnitzel” comes from Vienna, Austria. It is an authentic Vienna dish made with Veal Cutlet and has to be prepared a special way. It is even against regulations in Europe to a Schnitzel made with pork, a Wiener Schnitzel.
How It’s Prepared
Take thin pieces of veal cutlet, salt and pepper on each side, and dip them in flour to put a coating on. Next they are submerged in beaten eggs, and finally both sides are pressed into a bowl with just plain bread crumbs. Make sure you get it all around and evenly covered.
In a large frying pan heat up vegetable oil and margarine, about half of each. When it’s nice and hot carefully put the cutlets in, and start frying. The meat should float a little, but not be covered in oil. Not enough oil makes the meat burn too fast, too much will soak it. Fry about 5 minutes on each sides depending on the thickness of the meat. When it’s golden brown and crispy, flip it over. When done move it over to paper towels for a moment to absorb excess oil.
Enjoy
