How to make perfect pork schnitzel.
Trim excess fat from pork loin, cover with plastic wrap to prevent splatter. Then using a meat mallet pound thin to about ¼ inch.
Set up bowls of flour, beaten egg/milk and bread crumbs. I like really fresh tasting bread crumbs so I make my own. Fine bread crumbs seem to work best for this recipe and I prefer them over panko bread crumbs.
Dredge cutlets in flour, then beaten egg milk mix followed by bread crumbs.
The pork is then fried until golden and crisp approximately 3-4 minutes per side.
Top with homemade onion mustard sauce.
