🇦🇹 Austria recipe

Wiener Schnitzel

The pride of Viennese cuisine, a true Wiener Schnitzel is made exclusively from veal, pounded impossibly thin, and coated in a three-stage breading of flour, egg, and fine breadcrumbs. When fried correctly in clarified butter, the coating puffs away from the meat in golden, ruffled waves known as soufflieren, creating an ethereally crisp shell around the juicy, tender veal within.
