ingredients

2 lbs veal cutlets
1 cup all-purpose flour
4 eggs
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
salt and pepper
4 cups plain breadcrumbs
¹⁄₈ cup oil (for frying)

directions

If the cutlets are thicker than about 1/4", then pound them so they are thinner.
In a shallow dish, beat the eggs with the oil, salt, and pepper.
Dredge the veal cutlets in flour, then coat with the egg mixture, and then coat with the bread crumbs. If the cutlets are not coated well enough, you may dip them back in the egg mixture and coat with a second layer of bread crumbs.
Heat the 1/4 cup oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Fry the veal until golden brown, about 5 minutes.

I joined Recipezaar to learn new recipes that are home cooked. I grew up having ready-meals like Encor and Stouffers and needed recipes that don't simply require opening a box and plopping in the oven! I enjoy cooking when I have the time to try new dishes. I make every recipe as written if I'm reviewing it to give a true review. If I make alterations that aren't in the directions, I don't feel it's a true reflection of the recipe; it's another recipe to me. <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/participantbannerzwt5.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b367/chefpaulag/final-1.jpg"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/captain.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/329769/ninja%20bmp.jpg" width=75%> (Zaar World Tour 4) <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg"> <a href="http://s7.photobucket.com/albums/y254/Missymop/?action=view&current=cunningcrocodiles.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y254/Missymop/cunningcrocodiles.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <img src="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/DSC_0020.jpg"> (Australia/New Zealand Swap #15)
