How to Make Veal Cutlets With Fried Lemon Slices Wiener Schnitzel
- **Prepare the Breading Stations:** Set up three shallow dishes. In the first, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. In the second, whisk together 2 large eggs and 2 tablespoons water. In the third, mix 1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs, the zest of 1 lemon, and 1 teaspoon dried thyme.
- **Prepare the Veal Cutlets:** Gently pound veal cutlets (about 4, 4-6 oz each) to 1/4-inch thickness. (For larger batches, freeze after this step on a cooling rack. Once frozen, wrap individually and store in a freezer bag for up to 4 months.)
- **Bread the Cutlets:** Dip each cutlet into the flour mixture, shaking off excess. Then, dip into the egg mixture, letting excess drip off, and finally, dredge in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
- **Rest the Cutlets:** Place breaded cutlets on a wire rack and let rest at room temperature for 30-60 minutes to allow the breading to set.
- **Prepare the Lemon Slices:** Thinly slice 1 large lemon. In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons cornmeal, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- **Fry the Cutlets:** Heat 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add 2 cutlets at a time, frying for about 2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and place on a wire rack to drain excess oil.
- **Fry the Lemon Slices:** Once cutlets are cooked, remove food particles from the oil with a slotted spoon. Dredge lemon slices in the flour/cornmeal mixture, pressing gently to coat. Fry for 30 seconds per side, until golden brown. Remove and place on a wire rack to drain.
- **Serve:** Serve the crispy veal cutlets immediately with the fried lemon slices. Enjoy!
