  • Rinse the veal, pat it dry with a towel, and trim away any membranes and sinew. Cut the meat, along the grain, into portions about 5/8 inch (1.5 cm) thick. Then pound them lightly until the schnitzels are about 1/4 inch (0.5 cm) thick. Season each schnitzel on both sides with salt and pepper and make a few shallow cuts along the length (don't cut all the way through)—this keeps the meat from curling as it fries. Beat 2 eggs with a little salt in a bowl. Put flour on one plate and breadcrumbs on another. Dredge each schnitzel on both sides, first in flour, then in egg, then in breadcrumbs. The coating should be nice and solid, since that's what keeps the meat juicy. Set the breaded pieces aside on a separate plate. Fry the schnitzels in a preheated pan with about 5/8 inch (1.5 cm) of oil. The oil should be hot but not boiling. Fry the schnitzel 1 minute on one side, flip and fry 1 minute on the other, then flip once more and fry 3–4 minutes per side. The meat should develop a golden, crisp crust. After frying, set each piece on a paper towel to drain the excess oil. After 3–4 minutes, transfer the schnitzels to a platter and serve right away—with a side dish or a sauce, as you like.
