Directions

  1. 1Use a 180 to 200 gram cutlet.
  2. 2Butterfly the cutlet, cover it in plastic wrap, and pound it to a thickness of 3 to 4 mm.
  3. 3Season with salt.
  4. 4Brush with vodka to create steam and puff up the breading for a bubbly look, called "soufflieren".
  5. 5Scramble the eggs to about 50%.
  6. 6Use bread crumbs from bread made with milk.
  7. 7Make sure the bread crumbs are superfine to create a tighter seal and trap more steam.
  8. 8Dip the cutlet in flour, then into the egg, and finally into the bread crumbs. Don't press too much to keep the air pockets.
  9. 9Fry immediately after breading in clarified butter. Make sure to keep moving the pan and flip it.
  10. 10Once it achieves the proper color, the schnitzel is pretty much done.
  11. 11Immediately place it on a paper towel to soak up the fat.
  12. 12Serve with a slice of lemon and a caper eye.
