Oma's German Schnitzel Recipe



OMAN'S GERMAN SCHNITZEL RECIPES

ingredients:

  • 4 cutlets, about ¼ inch thick or less
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • about ½ cup of flour
  • 3 tablespoons of water
  • 1 egg
  • about 1 cup of breadcrumbs
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons peanut or vegetable oil
  • 1 lemon, sliced


Instructions:

  • Preheat the oven to 160 ℉. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Put several sheets of paper towel on a large plate. Set them aside.
  • Sprinkle the escalope with lemon juice and salt.
  • Place 3 shallow bowls on the counter. In the first, put flour. In the second, mix the egg and the water. In the third, put the bread crumbs.
  • Dredge a schnitzel, first in the flour, then in the egg mixture, then in the breadcrumbs. Place the breaded schnitzel on a large plate and repeat with the remaining schnitzel.
  • Heat the butter and oil over medium heat in a large skillet.
  • Fry the escalope until golden, about 3 minutes on each side. Do not overload the cutlet. Depending on the size, you may only be able to fry 1 or 2 at a time.
  • Remove the cooked schnitzel from the plate covered with absorbent paper to drain any fat, then place it on the baking sheet in the oven to keep warm.
  • Fry the remaining schnitzel.
  • Serve immediately, garnished with lemon slices.
  • Delicious with Jager sauce, aka Jagerschnitzel.

Advice:
If you serve it like Jagerschnitzel, you will want to make the mushroom sauce first and then fry the schnitzel.
