Grandma keeps her Wiener schnitzel recipe a closely guarded secret. Unfortunately for her, it's not that hard to figure out.

  • cooking oil

Directions

  1. 1
    Pound meat until it is less than 1/4 inch thick.
  2. 2
    Into a large skillet, pour oil approximately 1/4-inch deep; heat until oil bubbles when you drop in a pinch of breadcrumbs.
  3. 3
    Beat egg, add:
  4. 4
    1 tsp. lemon juice.

    Add parsley to breadcrumbs.

This recipe was really easy, the only change i made was adding about a 1/4 cup of shredded parmesan cheese to the bread crumb mixture. It was delicious!

    very good. I ran out of breadcrumbs- so I used Panko instead. Also added garlic powder to the crumbs. My entire family loved it. Thank you

    I never thought of adding lemon juice to my schnitzel recipes, but I tried this and it was really good. The only change I made to the recipe was to add lots of Hungarian paprika to the breadcrumbs.
