Instructions
- Place the flour and the breadcrumbs on two separate plates. Mix the egg, salt, pepper and olive oil and place on a third plate.
- Beat the escalopes flat with a rolling pin or meat mallet then coat in the flour, shake off the excess, then dip them in the egg mixture and finally in the breadcrumbs.
- Fill a large frying-pan with oil about 25mm /1 inch deep, add the butter and place the pan over moderate heat. When the fat is very hot, fry the escalopes, 1-2 at a time, until golden on one side.
- Turn them carefully and fry them on the other side. Drain the meat on kitchen paper and keep the first ones warm. Repeat until all are cooked.
- To Serve - Transfer to warm serving plates and garnish with wedges of lemon and sprigs of watercress.

Notes
- Meat Matters: Whether you're team veal or team pork, thin is in. Pound that meat like it's a drum at Oktoberfest to get the perfect thickness.
- Breading Basics: Keep one hand for the wet work and the other for the dry stuff. It's like having a clean hand policy in your kitchen – no sticky fingers, no breading blunders.
- Frying Fundamentals: Get that oil hot and ready, just like a summer's day in Berlin. A sizzling schnitzel is a happy schnitzel.
- Lemon Love: Never forget the power of a lemon wedge. It's like a splash of Cologne on a schnitzel – it just brings everything together.
- Serving Suggestions: Keep it simple with sides that let your schnitzel shine. Think potato salad with a twist or parsley potatoes with a buttery hug.
