• Allow excess lemon juice to drip off before breading the cutlets.
• Sprinkle a pinch of salt over each cutlet.
• Place flour in a large shallow plate.
• Beat eggs, water, and vegetable oil in a large shallow bowl. ~NOTE~ The vegetable oil helps to hold the breading on securely and to make the breading crisp.
• Place breadcrumbs in a large shallow plate.
• one at a time, dip salted cutlet into the flour and lightly cover each side with flour.
• Then dip the cutlet into the egg mixture, allowing the excess egg to drip off.
• Then dredge into the breadcrumb mixture to coat.
• Place breaded cutlets on a baking sheet and low to stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Heat shortening in a large heavy skillet.
• There should be enough oil in the pan for the cutlets to "swim".
• When the oil is hot, place one or two cutlets in the skillet at a time, being careful not to crowd the cutlets.
• Fry first side slowly until golden brown, about 4-6 minutes.
• Turn cutlets over with a spatula, being careful not to splatter hot oil.
• Fry on second side for about 4-6 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Drain on paper towels.
• If you have more cutlets to fry, then place finished cutlets in a piece of foil and keep warm in the oven at 250°F while you continue to fry up the rest of the cutlets.

WIENER SCHNITZEL (BREADED VEAL CUTLETS)

Steps:

• In a food processor, pulse the bread into fine crumbs. Transfer the breadcrumbs to a shallow bowl or lipped plate.
• Put the flour in a shallow bowl or plate. Break the eggs into another shallow bowl and whisk with the milk, and season with salt, and pepper to taste.
• To bread the meat: Dredge a cutlet in the flour, shaking off the excess; then dip it into the eggs, and finally coat the meat evenly with the breadcrumbs. Set on a piece of waxed paper or baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining cutlet.
• Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a medium non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. While the butter is still foaming add the breaded cutlets and cook, swirling the skillet in a tight circle (this keeps the cutlets moving around the skillet), until golden brown and cooked through, about 1 1/2 minutes for the first side. Turn the meat and cook 1 minute on the second side to crisp the breading. Transfer to a plate and cover very loosely with foil while you cook the other cutlet. Serve with the lemon wedges.

• In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs thoroughly with the water.
• Put the breadcrumbs or panko on another plate.

• Set the cutlet on a baking sheet or platter and repeat with the remaining cutlets, placing in one layer without touching.
• Heat a shallow layer of oil in a wide, high-sided frying pan or similar vessel over medium-high heat. Add as many cutlets as fit in a single layer. If the cutlets get too dark, lower the heat as needed.
• Fry the cutlets until they're golden brown on the first side for 2 to 3 minutes.
• Turn them over and cook them until they're golden brown on the other side and cooked through. Cooking time should be 4 to 6 minutes total. Do not overcook.
