Istruzioni

Prep the oven and tools

Preheat oven to 160°F (70°C). Place a wire rack on a baking sheet and line a plate with paper towels. Set aside for draining and warming the schnitzel.

Pound and season the cutlets

If the pork cutlets are thicker than ¼ inch, place them between plastic wrap and pound to an even thickness. Sprinkle both sides with lemon juice and salt.

Bread the schnitzel

Set up three shallow bowls: flour in the first, egg and water in the second, and breadcrumbs in the third. Dredge each cutlet in flour, dip into the egg, then coat with breadcrumbs. Repeat for all cutlets.

Fry the schnitzel

In a large skillet, heat butter and oil over medium heat until shimmering. Fry cutlets in batches for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown. Don’t overcrowd the pan.

Drain, warm, and serve

Place cooked schnitzel briefly on paper towels, then transfer to the oven rack to keep warm. Fry remaining cutlets. Serve immediately with lemon slices or wedges.
