Method

Prep 15 min · cook 15 min
  1. Pound the escalopes between two sheets of cling film to about 4 mm. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Set out three plates: the flour, the eggs beaten with a pinch of salt, and the breadcrumbs.
  3. Coat each escalope in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs, pressing lightly but not packing them down.
  4. Heat the oil and butter in a large pan to about 170 °C — a crumb should sizzle at once.
  5. Fry the schnitzel 2–3 minutes a side, swirling the pan so the fat washes over the top and the crumb puffs. Drain on paper.
  6. Serve straight away with lemon wedges, and potato salad or fried potatoes.
