Wiener Schnitzel

The secret to these schnitzel, is the marination, the soaking in milk overnight or lemon juice for one hour tenderizes the meat. One could use buttermilk as well, I've heard that works well. The best way to prepare schnitzel, be it pork or chicken or veal, is to make it paillard-style, very thin slices of meat. To make the paillard, you can either cut the cutlet in half horizonally, or leave it thicker, then place it between two sheets of clingwrap and pound it till it's thin. The meat cooks quicker being thin.
