This is a fantastic recipe, and very authentic. However, as a Hungarian, I added more paprika (about 1 1/2 Tbsp.) to the flour. I used more flour (3/4 cup) since I was making a huge batch of schnitzel. I then used 2 Tbsp. of the leftover flour/salt/paprika mixture to make the sauce (instead of just plain flour). The bay leaves and caraway seeds stole the show, and reminded me of my Hungarian momma's cooking when I was a child.
My kids thought it was great, and even my son who hates mushrooms gobbled it up.
