Steps:

• Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place veal on a clean work surface and sprinkle with lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
• Place flour in a flat dish. Beat egg and parsley together in a second dish. Place bread crumbs in a third dish. Dredge each veal cutlet first in flour, then in egg-parsley mixture, followed by bread crumbs, pressing down so that bread crumbs adhere.
• Spray the basket of the air fryer with nonstick cooking spray. Place breaded veal cutlets into the basket, making sure not to overcrowd. Spray the tops with nonstick cooking spray.
• Cook for 5 minutes. Flip, spray any chalky spots with nonstick cooking spray, and cook for 5 minutes longer. Repeat with remaining veal. Serve with lemon wedges.

WIENERSCHNITZEL (BREADED VEAL CUTLETS)

Steps:

• Place veal cutlets, one piece at a time, between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound until thin, about 1/4 inch thick.
• Slice lemon in half and squeeze lemon juice over all four pieces of veal.

• Allow excess lemon juice to drip off before breading the cutlets.
• Sprinkle a pinch of salt over each cutlet.
• Place flour in a large shallow plate.
• Beat eggs, water, and vegetable oil in a large shallow bowl. ~NOTE~ The vegetable oil helps to hold the breading on securely and to make the breading crisp.
• Place breadcrumbs in a large shallow plate.
• one at a time, dip salted cutlet into the flour and lightly cover each side with flour.
• Then dip the cutlet into the egg mixture, allowing the excess egg to drip off.
• Then dredge into the breadcrumb mixture to coat.
• Place breaded cutlets on a baking sheet and low to stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Heat shortening in a large heavy skillet.
• There should be enough oil in the pan for the cutlets to "swim".
• When the oil is hot, place one or two cutlets in the skillet at a time, being careful not to crowd the cutlets.
• Fry first side slowly until golden brown, about 4-6 minutes.
• Turn cutlets over with a spatula, being careful not to splatter hot oil.
• Fry on second side for about 4-6 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Drain on paper towels.
• If you have more cutlets to fry, then place finished cutlets in a piece of foil and keep warm in the oven at 250°F while you continue to fry up the rest of the cutlets.

WIENER SCHNITZEL (BREADED VEAL CUTLETS)

Steps:

• In a food processor, pulse the bread into fine crumbs. Transfer the breadcrumbs to a shallow bowl or lipped plate.
• Put the flour in a shallow bowl or plate. Break the eggs into another shallow bowl and whisk with the milk, and season with salt, and pepper to taste.
• To bread the meat: Dredge a cutlet in the flour, shaking off the excess; then dip it into the eggs, and finally coat the meat evenly with the breadcrumbs. Set on a piece of waxed paper or baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining cutlet.
• Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a medium non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. While the butter is still foaming add the breaded cutlets and cook, swirling the skillet in a tight circle (this keeps the cutlets moving around the skillet), until golden brown and cooked through, about 1 1/2 minutes for the first side. Turn the meat and cook 1 minute on the second side to crisp the breading. Transfer to a plate and cover very loosely with foil while you cook the other cutlet. Serve with the lemon wedges.
