Wiener Schnitzel
This is lovely with French fries and a green salad.
When I was young, you could get wiener schnitzel in any good restaurant in Germany, you still get it all over Austria, where it is served often with a cranberry sauce. I like it with French fries and a green salad.

- 1 egg, slightly beaten
- salt and white pepper to taste
- 1 cup of flour

- Dip the meat in the flour, then the egg and then the breadcrumbs.
- Heat the oil in a frying pan.
- When the oil is hot, let the cutlets slide in and fry them, turn them once or twice.
- They need to be golden brown.
- Remove the cutlets from the pan, set them on paper towel to remove excess oil, before you add the nicer fat: browned butter.

Notes
Stefan’s tip for wine: A light white wine, like a Riesling
