Weiner Schnitzel

(Ilse W. Bitburg, Germany Ward cookbook)

Ingredients for 4 people:

4 Calfschnitzel (each 125 g - about 1/4 lb.) I would use pork or chicken
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper
3 tbsp. flour
2 eggs
4 tbsp. bread crumbs
125 g porklard cooking oil/grease (Crisco)
1 lemon
Pound the schnitzel with a meat hammer fairly thin.  Cut along edges a few times with a sharp knife so it will not bend when fried. Mix salt, pepper, and flour.  Mix the eggs with two tablespoons of water in a deep plate.

Put the schnitzel first in the flour mixture, then in the egg mix, and then in the bread crumbs.  heat the lard in a large frying pan and brown the schnitzel for about 3 minutes each side. until golden brown.
