Steps:
- Heat the oven to 200 degrees while you prepare the three components of the breading. Sift flour into a shallow dish and whisk to combine with 1 teaspoon salt and the pepper. In another shallow dish, lightly beat eggs. In a third shallow dish, whisk to combine breadcrumbs and remaining teaspoon of salt. Dredge one cutlet at a time in the seasoned flour, turning to coat, and shaking off excess. Next dip in the eggs, again making sure to coat completely and to allow the excess to drip back into bowl. Then coat with breadcrumbs, patting firmly so they adhere but being careful not to coat too thickly. Place coated cutlets on piece of parchment paper or a large baking sheet.
- Heat 1/4 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it is 350 degrees. Working in batches to avoid crowding pan, cook cutlets until golden brown on the bottom, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip with a flexible thin spatula and fry until the other side is golden brown and cutlets are cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes more, monitoring temperature of oil to maintain 350 degrees. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with a double layer of paper towels and keep warm in the oven.
- Pour off and discard oil remaining in skillet, then wipe clean with paper towels. Working in batches again if necessary, melt the butter in the same skillet over medium heat until sizzling. Set pan-fried cutlets in the pan to coat one side with butter, then quickly flip to coat the other side.
- Arrange the cutlets on a platter, sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

WIENERSCHNITZLE ALA WOLFGANG PUCK
This is simply fabulous and the best I have ever made & eaten, YUM! It's got to be the panko and peanut oil. My children love it as does everyone we have served it to. The original recipe suggests 6 oz. cutlets. I typically get very thin slices from the butcher and they don't need further flattening w. a meat mallet. They are probably 2-4 oz each. Great with recipe#390832.

Steps:
- Preheat oil to 375 degrees F. in a heavy, deep saucepan.
- Beat eggs with 2 T water to make an egg wash.
- To prepare Wienerschnitzle:.
- Pound out the cutlets if necessary.
- Season the veal cutlets with salt and pepper.
- Score the coat the veal cutlets with four shallow knife cuts in a cross-hatch pattern to help prevent curling while cooking.
- Dredge in flour. Dip in egg wash. Coat with crushed panko crumbs. *You may need more flour and panko crumbs.
- Deep fry about 2-3 minutes PER SIDE, or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Replenish oil as necessary.
- My notes:.
- Panko (Japanese) bread crumbs can be found in the Asian aisle/ market to often times with "regular" bread crumbs. I highly recommend using panko. They are lighter & much crunchier than standard bread crumbs. To crush, pour them in the food processor and give a quick whirl or in a ziploc bag and run over them with a rolling pin.
- I would recommend slicing each cutlet in half to ease in cooking.
- The cutlets should be sliced very thinly. If not you may have to use a meat mallet to tenderize and pound flatter.
- I serve with basmati rice, lemon wedges and recipe#390832.

Steps:
- Position a rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Separate egg yolk and egg whites into 2 bowls.
- Meanwhile, put the raisins and rum in a small bowl and steep for about 10 minutes.
- Put the crème fraîche, ½ cup sugar (100 G), egg yolks, raisins, and 1 tablespoon of the rum in a mixing bowl. Whisk until blended. Stir in the flour.
- Put the egg whites in a large, clean mixing bowl. Add the cream of tartar and salt. With a hand-held electric mixer on medium speed, beat until thick and foamy. Then, still beating, gradually add 1 cup (200 G) of sugar. Continue beating until soft peaks form when the beaters are lifted out.
- Drop a large scoop of the meringue onto the egg yolk batter. With a flexible rubber spatula, gently fold the whites into the batter to lighten it. Scoop the remaining meringue over the batter and gently fold it in.
- Coat a medium ovenproof skillet with the butter. Sprinkle in sugar and shake and rotate to coat the butter. Tap out any excess.
- Gently scrape the batter into the prepared skillet. Smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven until puffed, golden brown on top, and springy to a gentle touch at its center, 10 to 12 minutes.
- While the batter bakes, in a nonreactive skillet stir together the berries, lemon juice, ¼ cup (50 G) sugar, orange juice and zest, vanilla, and star anise. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring to help the sugar dissolve and mashing a few of the berries to help thicken the sauce.
- Divide the compote among serving plates. With a large serving spoon, scoop up large dollops of the Kaiserschmarren, distributing them evenly on top of the compote. Dust generously with confectioners sugar. Serve immediately.
- Enjoy!

WIENER SCHNITZEL
This authentic Wiener schnitzel, simply breaded with flour, egg, and fine breadcrumbs, proves that fried food doesn't have to be heavy. Chef Ban will show you the secret to achieving an airy pocket of golden crust around the meat, which is the hallmark of a good schnitzel.

Steps:
- Sift the breadcrumbs through a fine-mesh strainer into a large mixing bowl, and set aside. (Save the coarse crumbs in the strainer for another use.) In another large bowl, add the eggs and whisk to combine. In the third bowl, add the flour. In a large, heavy-bottomed pot set over high heat, add enough vegetable oil to reach a depth of 1 to 1½ inches. Clip a thermometer onto the pot and bring oil to 380 degrees F. Meanwhile, prepare the cutlets.
- Lightly oil one side of two freezer bags. Optional: Trim the veal cutlets to your desired size (Chef Ban uses pieces about 4 inches long). Place a cutlet between the oiled sides of the bags, then use the bottom of a heavy skillet (or a meat tenderizer) to pound the cutlets until they are of a uniform thickness, about ⅛ inch. Set flattened cutlet aside and repeat with remaining cutlets.
- Place the cutlets, evenly spaced, on a wire rack fitted into a rimmed baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper on both sides. Coat first cutlet completely with flour; tap off excess flour. Next, dip the cutlet in the egg; gently wipe off excess egg. Finally, cover the cutlet with breadcrumbs until evenly and completely coated; gently shake off the excess breadcrumbs. Return cutlet to the wire rack, then repeat with remaining cutlets.
- Prepare another wire rack fitted into a rimmed baking sheet for the finished schnitzels. When the oil is at 380 degrees F, gently submerge the first cutlet in the oil. About 30 seconds later, when it floats to the surface, use a ladle to carefully and continually baste the top of the schnitzel with hot oil until the crust is golden and puffs up, about 3 minutes. (This basting action helps create a pocket of air between the meat and the crust-the hallmark of a good schnitzel.) After 3 minutes, flip and baste again, 2-3 more minutes. (Adjust heat as needed to keep temperature at 380 degrees F.) After a total of 5-6 minutes of cooking, schnitzel should be puffed and golden brown on both sides. Use a strainer to remove schnitzel and transfer to clean wire rack or a baking sheet lined with paper towels. Make sure the oil is at 380 degrees F before cooking the next cutlet. Repeat with remaining cutlets.
- Plate the Wiener schnitzel gently to avoid breaking the crust. Garnish with lemon wedges and a few leaves of parsley. Serve immediately.

Provided by á-7815
Number Of Ingredients 12
Steps:
- In a small bowl, beat together the egg yolks, egg, and milk. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture and mix with hand until well blended. Do not overmix at this stage. Cover the bowl and refrigerate. Allow the batter to rest for at least 1 hour. Bring salted water to a boil. Place a perforated hotel pan on top of the pot. Place the batter on the pan and force through the holes to form spaetzle. Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until al dente. Transfer cooked spaetzle to a bowl of ice water to shock. When cool to the touch, drain well. Stir in half the oil (at this point you can cover and refrigerate up to 2 days). Over high heat, place a large saute pan until it gets very hot. add the remaining 1/4 cup of oil and the boiled spaetzle. Saute until golden. Season to taste with salt & pepper. Finish with butter and sprinkle with parsley.
Tips:
- To ensure the schnitzel is cooked evenly, use a meat mallet to pound it to an even thickness.
- Coat the schnitzel in flour, egg, and breadcrumbs to create a crispy crust.
- Use clarified butter or a high smoke point oil to fry the schnitzel to prevent burning.
- Fry the schnitzel in small batches to avoid overcrowding the pan and ensure even cooking.
- Serve the schnitzel immediately with your favorite sides, such as potato salad, cucumber salad, or lingonberry jam.
