- Whisk the eggs in a bowl, put the flour in one dish and the breadcrumbs in another one.
- Coat the veal cutlets with the flour.

- Repeat the previous step another time, so a total of two breadcrumbs coating.
- Melt the clarified butter in a frying pan or cast iron sklillet.
- As usual, to have the best result the temperature of the butter has to be around 170°C or 340°F.

- Fry the cutlets about 5 minutes on each side, if you don't have a big pan, fry them one by one.
- During the cooking time, use a spoon and continue to pour the frying butter from the pan to the top of the cutlets.
- Before serving, remove the excess butter using a paper towel and add salt to taste.
