These German schnitzels are the ultimate in comfort food!
Ingredients
- 4 boneless pork chops
- 2 tbsp. mustard optional
- 1 tsp. salt
- ½ tsp. pepper
- ½ tsp. paprika powder
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp. milk
- ½ cup flour
- 1 cup bread crumbs
- 2 tbsp. lard or neutral vegetable oil

Instructions
- Rinse the pork chops and pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Pound the meat between two layers of plastic wrap to about ¼-inch thickness.
- Add mustard, salt, pepper and paprika powder to a small bowl and mix well.
- Brush the schnitzels on both sides with the marinade.
- If you don't like mustard, simply season the schnitzels with salt, pepper, and paprika powder on both sides.
- Add flour and bread crumbs each to a deep plate.
- To a third deep plate add the milk and the egg and whisk together.
- Lightly coat the schnitzels with flour and shake off the excess.
- Dip into the egg mixture.
- Finally, cover the schnitzel in the bread crumbs. Pat the bread crumbs into the schnitzels lightly, but do not press them in.
- In a large pan heat lard and butter over medium high heat.
- Fry the schnitzels on both sides until golden brown.
- Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to soak up excess fat.
- For best taste serve immediately.
Notes
Serve with french fries, spätzle and a side salad or a vegetable dish. Add some of the famous German schnitzel sauces, like Jäger gravy, creamy sauce or gypsy sauce.
