1. Which Oil is the Right One?

At a glance, 90% of chefs bake the breaded meat in sunflower oil or corn oil. The fried meat is then turned into butter and put on the plate. Lard is usually only available in the grandma’s kitchen or in her imagination. Now I can already hear the question, what does it look like with clarified butter? Clarified butter or ghee makes the preparation very sweet, so it is rarely used. My favourite variant with nut butter:

Prepare browned butter in an extra saucepan.
Bring butter to the boil, simmer, as in the preparation of clarified butter.
Continue to heat butter and let it brown.

Fry the breaded meat in oil, then briefly toss in the nut butter. Now a breadcrumbschnitzel in star quality comes on the table.

Breaded meat and nut butter, Mr. Witzigmann is also pleased about this.

2. Meat and Breadcrumbs

I recommend you meat in organic quality. Let the butcher cut and prepare the meat slices for you. During the preparation further down I still go into the meat knocking, further reading is worthwhile itself…

Organic meat does you good and the planet good. Let the butcher prepare the slices for you. Take a special look at the breadcrumbs: The finer the breadcrumbs – please use real baker’s breadcrumbs and not coarse-grained industrial goods – the better the breaded schnitzel on the plate. The best breadcrumbs are called…Here’s the second trip to star gastronomy… Remove the rind from the fresh white bread and let it dry. The bread finely to bread crumbs process, these particularly fine crumbs call cooks: Mie de Pain.

3. Breading done right

Season the beaten meat slices with salt and pepper, then turn in flour, then pull through the beaten egg, finally turn in breadcrumbs and press gently.

escalope-pan-meat-in-flour turning — The meat must always first in the flour, then in the egg, then in the breadcrumbs. This is the only way for the breading to stick to the meat.

The meat must always be first in the flour, then in the egg, then in the breadcrumbs. This is the only way for the breadcrumbs to adhere to the meat. Fry the meat in the oil and add the famous wavy breading. The breaded meat must float in the fat to make it really good. Heat the oil, put in the meat and toss the pan while frying.

The “pan swivel” we call cooks “soufflieren”. The waved breading is created by this.

Now a little in the nut butter… wonderful… let it taste you!
