This German delicacy, also known as bécsi szelet (Viennese slice), borjú bécsi (Viennese veal) or rántott hús (breaded meat), is highly well-liked in Hungary because of the significant Austrian influence of the Austro-Hungarian Empire (breaded meat). It is a common dish in Hungarian families, often made on Sundays or for special occasions with spätzle, French fries, mashed potatoes, or rice. It is also served in restaurants. Green peas or other vegetables can also be served as a side dish. With meals, bread and salad (or pickles) are frequently served. A slice of schnitzel that has been rolled and stuffed with cheese and ham is the cordon bleu variation that certain restaurants offer.

Ingredients:

all-purpose flour, 1 cup

3 split teaspoons of kosher salt, plus additional salt for seasoning

two huge eggs

2/fourths cup heavy cream

two cups of fine, unflavored dry breadcrumbs

4 equal chunks of 1/2 pound veal scaloppine or eye round, sliced against the grain

black pepper freshly ground

Vegetable oil, 2 cups

a third of a cup of unsalted butter

4 wedges cut from 1 lemon

Curly lettuce or parsley

Preparation:

Paper towels are used to line a sizable baking sheet in two layers. In a large shallow bowl, combine the flour and 1 teaspoon of salt. In a separate large shallow basin, whisk the eggs and cream just until the yolks and whites are streaky. In a third broad shallow bowl, combine breadcrumbs and 2 teaspoons of salt.

While being careful not to rip, pound the veal slices between plastic wrap sheets to a thickness of 1/8" to 16". Add a little pepper and salt for seasoning.

Set a dry-fry thermometer in a sizable, deep skillet and add oil until the bulb is completely covered. Oil is heated to 350° over a medium heat. Add butter to the skillet and keep the temperature at 350°.

Shake off excess after dredging two veal slices in the flour mixture. Place in egg. Shake off excess after turning to coat. Shake off excess after dredging in breadcrumbs and pressing to adhere. Slices are added to the skillet. Carefully brush the hot oil on the veal’s top using a large spoon. Cook for about 1 minute, or until breading puffs and begins to brown. About 1 minute more after turning, heat until browned.

About 1 minute more after turning, heat until browned. Transfer to a sheet lined with paper towels. Repeat with the remaining pieces of veal.

Put the veal on each platter. Lemon wedges, parsley, and lettuce are used as garnish.
