Ingredients

4 veal or chicken escalopes
150 g flour
3 eggs
200 g breadcrumbs
150 g butter
1 lemon
Salt, black pepper

Instructions

Beat the escalopes between two sheets of film to 5 mm.
Season with salt and pepper.
Coat in flour, then beaten egg, then breadcrumbs — do NOT press the crumbs on; a loose coating puffs as it fries.
Fry in plenty of butter, 3 minutes a side, until golden.
Rock the pan so the fat washes over the top.
Drain and serve at once with lemon.
