This is not an Old World recipe. I grew up in Germany and it was always made with veal until the late 80's when money was short for so many. Pork is not the original recipe.

Very good. Had to double the flour mixture to have enough for all the meat.

What a good dish for quick and easy!! The only change would be, as others mentioned, more flour mixture. We like the light batter, but it needs more to coat all the cutlets.

Fantastic and simple! The lemon and honey flavor perfectly compliments the light coating on the pork. It wasn't too sweet or too sour.My only change/suggestion would be to make more of the flour/salt/pepper mixture--maybe even double it--because most of it was used up after coating only two of the pork cutlets (though the size of the cutlets also makes a difference). I think the coating and sauce might be just as good when using chicken cutlets!

Delicious. My son who isn't a fan of pork chops even liked this.

My son and I loved this recipe. My take on schnitzel is that the meat is thinned out by using a meat tenderizer. I did this to the sirloin cutlets to about a quarter inch thickness and was happy I did so.

Very sweet. Next time I would use less honey. We also doubled the coating. Would also add paprika to seasoning next time.
