Ingredients

Servings: 4
  • 4 thin calf or
  • 7-10 Tbsp Pork escalope
  • 7-10 Tbsp salt, pepper
  • 100 g Whipped cream
  • 3 Eggs (Gr. M)
  • 3-4 Tbsp Flour
  • 8-10 Tbsp Breadcrumbs
  • 200 g clarified butter or 6 tablespoons oil + 4 tablespoons butter
  • 7-10 Tbsp For the decoration: 4 lemon slices, capers and anchovies
  • 7-10 Tbsp Freezer bag

Directions

  1. 1

    Dab schnitzel dry. Tap the bottom of a saucepan 2-3 mm thinly and flatly between a lengthwise cut freezer bag or two layers of cling film. Salt and pepper the cutlets on both sides.

  2. 2

    Whisk cream and eggs in a deep plate with a fork. The breadcrumb coating with lightly whipped cream becomes extra light.

  3. 3

    Put the flour and breadcrumbs in a plate. Turn the cutlets one after the other in flour first, shake off excess flour slightly.

  4. 4

    Pull the schnitzel through the egg mix, then let it drip off a little.

  5. 5

    Now turn the schnitzel in the breadcrumbs. Start frying immediately, otherwise the breadcrumbs will not be crispy.

  6. 6

    Do not heat 50 g of lard too hot in a large pan, otherwise the breadcrumb coating will burn. Put 1 escalope into the pan and fry it floating in the lard at medium heat. Pour hot lard over the meat again and again.

  7. 7

    As soon as the underside is golden yellow (after 2-4 minutes) turn the escalope over and fry it on the second side in the same way. Drain the finished schnitzel on kitchen paper. Keep warm in a hot oven (at approx. 50 °C).

  8. 8

    Bread the rest of the escalopes and fry them. Schnitzel decoration: Wrap 1 caper in 1 anchovy and arrange on 1 lemon slice.
