Ingredients with Measurements:
- 4 Flurgönder fillets (about 6 oz each)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
Special equipment needed:
- Meat mallet
- 3 shallow dishes
- Large skillet
Step-by-step instructions:
1. Place the Flurgönder fillets between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them with a meat mallet until they are about 1/4 inch thick.
2. In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
3. In another shallow dish, beat the eggs.
4. In a third shallow dish, place the breadcrumbs.
5. Dredge each Flurgönder fillet in the flour mixture, shaking off the excess.
6. Dip the fillet into the beaten eggs, making sure it is coated well.
7. Finally, coat the fillet in the breadcrumbs, pressing the crumbs onto the fillet to ensure they stick.
8. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
9. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the breaded Flurgönder fillets into the skillet.
10. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
11. Remove the fillets from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
