Breading
After bathing in the egg, place the schnitzel immediately in the breadcrumbs.

3. How to Bread Cutlet Properly
Before you start, wash the schnitzel, dry it, beat it, season it…
Please pay attention to the order: For the traditional breadcrumbs you need flour, eggs and breadcrumbs.
A long time ago I had a cookbook editor in my kitchen, she put the beaten meat slices straight into the egg and then put them into the breadcrumbs.
The meat must always be put first into the flour, second into the egg and third into the breadcrumbs, so that the breadcrumbs stick.
Wheat flour type 405 has proved its worth with flour, and star chefs like to use the Wiener Grießler.
Add some cream, salt, pepper and sweet paprika and your schnitzel will be really fine!
Use best very fine baker’s breadcrumbs, the finer the breadcrumbs, the better the breadcrumbs will be.
Chefs use breadcrumbs prepared from white bread without rind.
These special breadcrumbs are called “Mie de Pain” in the technical language of the chefs.
4. Tip for Properly Fry Breaded Cutlet
For frying I recommend sunflower oil or maize germ oil.
- Heat a frying pan and let your schnitzel float in the fat.
- Swivel the pan, that’s what cooks call soufflieren, and the waved breading is created.
- The schnitzel is especially fine when you swivel it in foamed butter.
- Professionals brown the butter beforehand, the nut butter conjures up a great taste experience on the plate.
We know lard from grandma’s kitchen, but it has become rare.
I personally don’t like to use butter lard or ghee so much, the schnitzel gets too sweet in taste.
Lard is rather retro and the kitchen smells unpleasant.
