1. Mix the milk, eggs, worcestershire sauce, and spices together with the flour to make a thickened batter. This will help it cling to the meat. Some folks use heavy cream in place of the milk, and cut down on the flour.   2. Dip the Schnitzel into the breading mix, flip it over and press the crumbs into the meat. Place on a board or plate. Repeat and stack the schnitzels and let them sit for a few minutes before frying to let the breading set. Fry the Schnitzel in a good amount of oil on medium high heat. Check frequently to see how it is browning. Flip when brown and cook on the other side. When browned on both sides it will be done, because it is very thin.   Now you can use whatever sauce you want or serve it with lemon and parsley for a Wienerschnitzel

One option is to make your own bread crumbs. I like to do this because sometimes store bought bread crumbs taste stale to me. This way I know they are fresh.
you can do the same thing with crackers.

Here is a breading option, I used 2 cups of buttermilk in which I marinated the Schnitzels for 1 hour. Then I breaded them in seasoned fresh bread crumbs. You can use the seasoning recipe from above.

Here is the nice browning action of the buttermilk and fresh crumb mixture.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Here is another option that a lot of folks like to do. It uses a 3 step process , that uses flour then egg wash and then a seasoned cracker meal or bread crumbs. In this breading I used for about 4 large Schnitzels. Any left over can be bagged and frozen. 1 cup flour in a bowl Egg Wash: 2 eggs 1 cup milk or water Seasoned Bread Crumbs: 2 cups cracker meal or bread crumbs 2 teaspoons salt or seasoned salt 1 teaspoon granulated garlic 1 teaspoon granulated onion 1 teaspoon paprika 1 teaspoon black pepper
