Ingredients
- [1 1/2 pounds Pork Loin New York Chops]
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup bread crumbs plain
- 2 eggs lightly beaten
- salt and pepper to taste
- 3 cups canola or vegetable oil
- lemon slices
Instructions
- Add eggs, flour and bread crumbs to three separate shallow dishes and set aside.
- Add oil to a large skillet and heat oil to 340-350 degrees (I used a candy thermometer to check temperature).
- Pound pork with a flat side of the mallet until the meat is 1/4 inch thick. Sprinkle both sides of pork with salt and pepper.
- Lightly dip into flour, then egg and finally the bread crumbs.
- When all pieces are coated fry without crowding the schnitzel. Fry until golden brown. A total of three minutes is all that is required.
- Remove from skillet and place on a baking sheet with a cooling rack placed on top to let any excess oil drip off the schnitzel.
- Serve immediately.

Notes
- The flour coating is very light dusting. Remove any clumps that might form. The egg dip is a quick coating. Don't let the pork sit in the egg mix. Gently coat the meat with the bread crumbs. You should not need to pat the bread crumbs on the pork.
