Place veal cutlets, one piece at a time, between
two pieces of plastic wrap and pound until thin, about 1/4 inch thick.
Slice lemon in half and squeeze lemon juice over all four pieces of
veal.
Allow the veal to sit in lemon juice for 30 minutes.
Allow excess lemon juice to drip off before breading the cutlets.
Sprinkle a pinch of salt over each cutlet.
Place flour in a large shallow plate.
Beat eggs, water, and vegetable oil in a large shallow bowl. ~NOTE~
The vegetable oil helps to hold the breading on securely and to make
the breading crisp.
Place breadcrumbs in a large shallow plate.
one at a time, dip salted cutlet into the flour and lightly cover each
side with flour.
Then dip the cutlet into the egg mixture, allowing the excess egg to
drip off.
Then dredge into the breadcrumb mixture to coat.
Place breaded cutlets on a baking sheet and low to stand at room temperature
for 30 minutes.
Heat shortening in a large heavy skillet.
There should be enough oil in the pan for the cutlets to "swim".
When the oil is hot, place one or two cutlets in the skillet at a time,
being careful not to crowd the cutlets.
Fry first side slowly until golden brown, about 4-6 minutes.
Turn cutlets over with a spatula, being careful not to splatter hot
oil.
Fry on second side for about 4-6 minutes, or until golden brown.
Drain on paper towels.
If you have more cutlets to fry, then place finished cutlets in a piece
of foil and keep warm in the oven at 250°F while you continue to
fry up the rest of the cutlets.
