German Schnitzel

[aburt]

I was recently in Germany and fell in love with the pork dish they call schnitzel. It is a form of pork that is pounded until flat. You can get them cooked various ways - most popular seemed to be fried. However, my favorite was with a cream sauce and mushrooms. Does anyone have a recipe similar to this dish. Please help if you do - I am dying for another schnitzel!!!

Hi!

After living there for 1 1/2 years I know this is what it is. Also have some friends who live there. It is normally called Weiner (pronounced with a "v" for the "w" Schnitzel.


Vienna Schnitzel
Both my mother and father were Viennese and grew up
there. This was my mother's recipe. Veal can also be used
in place of pork. Prep Time: approx. 20 Minutes. Cook
Time: approx. 15 Minutes. Ready in: approx. 35 Minutes.
Makes 6 servings.

1 quart oil for deep frying
6 (6 ounce) filets pork sirloin
1 cup cake flour
2 cups dry bread crumbs
2 eggs
1/4 cup milk
salt and pepper to taste


Directions
1 Heat deep-fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2 Place meat on a solid, level surface and pound with a
mallet until it is 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick.
3 Place the flour and bread crumbs in separate dishes.
Soup plates are useful. Lightly beat the eggs and add the
milk. Lightly season with salt and pepper and put this into
another soup plate.
4 Coat the meat in flour, patting lightly by hand. Using
a fork to hold the meat, dip into the egg mixture and
drain slightly. Next, coat with the breadcrumbs by lightly
pressing the crumbs into the meat. When each piece of meat has
been prepared, deep fry in cooking oil until golden brown.


Enjoy! Hope this is what you were looking for! If not, I can get an original from some German friends here in the US! ;D
