Step 4

  • Sprinkle the cutlets with flour, dredge through the whisked egg, and roll them in breadcrumbs.

Step 5

  • Shake off the excessive crumbs and add the cutlet to the pan. Make sure you have enough butter in the pan so the cutlets basically swim in it. This will guarantee that they’ll cook evenly, and your breading won’t get stuck to the bottom of the pan.
