My Grandma's Easy German Schnitzel Recipe

Step 1

With a meat tenderizer or the bottom of a heavy pan, pound out the pork chops to 1/4 inch thickness.

Step 2

Add the flour to a shallow bowl. In another bowl, whisk the eggs with the milk, and season with the salt and pepper. Add the panko to another shallow bowl.

Step 3

One at a time, lightly dredge the pork chops first in the flour, then the egg mixture, and then in the panko crumbs, shaking off excess. Repeat with the remaining pork chops.

Step 4

Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a heavy skillet over medium high heat. Fry the chops in batches, moving the chops in the pan, until golden brown and crispy, about 5 minutes on each side. Add 1 tablespoons of oil to the pan at a time and repeat with the remaining pork chops. Serve with lemon wedges, noodles, and sweet and sour cabbage.
