Wiener Schnitzel

Wiener Schnitzel is a true icon of Austrian cuisine and one of the most famous breaded cutlets in the world. Traditionally made with veal, the meat is pounded incredibly thin, then coated in a simple breading of flour, egg, and fine breadcrumbs, and pan-fried to a perfect golden-brown. The result is a schnitzel that is incredibly light, airy, and crispy, with the breading often puffing up away from the meat to create little "souffléd" pockets. It’s a dish that is both simple and elegant. Served with a simple wedge of lemon for squeezing over the top, and often accompanied by a classic potato salad, it’s a meal that is both satisfying and refined.
