Instructions
1
Begin by placing the pork cutlets between two sheets of wax paper and using a meat pounder or rolling pin to flatten them to a thickness of 1/4 to 1/2 inch.
2
Make small slits around the edges of the pork cutlets to prevent curling while cooking. Set the cutlets aside.
3
In a shallow pie dish or bowl, mix together the 1/2 cup of flour, seasoning salt, and black pepper.
4
In another bowl, beat the eggs with the 1/4 cup of milk until well combined.
5
In a third dish, combine the breadcrumbs and paprika thoroughly.
6
Take each cutlet and coat it first in the flour mixture, then dip it in the egg mixture, and finally roll it in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring it is well-covered. Set the coated cutlets aside on a plate.
7
In a large skillet, melt 6 tablespoons of vegetable shortening over medium heat until hot.
8
Carefully add three cutlets to the skillet at a time, cooking them for 3-5 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the cooked cutlets to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining shortening and cutlets.
9
In a small cup, mix together the remaining 2 tablespoons of flour with the dried dill. Add this mixture to the skillet and stir to combine.
10
Pour in the chicken broth, continuing to stir until it is well incorporated. Finally, stir in the sour cream and heat through without boiling.
11
Serve the crispy pork cutlets topped with the creamy dill sauce or pass the sauce separately for spooning over egg noodles or your chosen side.
