This recipe is for homemade schnitzel made of pork cutlets, instead of the wienerschnitzel that is made of veal cutlets. The schnitzels are first pounded, then put in flour, then in egg and finally in breadcrumbs, before fried in butter. This procedure provides a tight breading which attracts much fat, and gives a nice crispy surface. It is common to eat it together with French fries and a salad. To enhance the flavor you can squeeze the juice from a citron on top of the schnitzel.
