Authentic Wiener Schnitzel Recipe Vienna, Austria

The simple Viennese classic known as Wiener schnitzel is made exclusively with tender veal cutlets which are dipped in flour, egg, and breadcrumbs, then shallow fried in clarified butter until golden brown. However, because of its availability, pork is often used as a substitute for the traditional veal, especially in rural Austria. Wiener schnitzel should be served while still hot, with accompaniments like lemon wedges and cranberry sauce, and either a potato salad, parsley potatoes, mixed salad, rice, or French fries.
