Ingredients 2 ingredients

  1. a cupful of cold water
  2. two cupfuls of bread crumbs

Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Oven and hot trays. Use dry oven gloves for trays and dishes: a hot tray looks just like a cold one. Open the oven door away from your face and let the first rush of heat out.
  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. Butter a baking-pan, pour in a cupful of cold water, and lay in a thick slice of veal cutlet.
  2. Spread over the cutlet a dressing made of two cupfuls of bread crumbs, a chopped onion, a beaten egg, and salt, pepper and melted butter to season.
  3. Cover the pan, bake for half an hour, then take off the lid and brown.
