VEAL FRANCESE 
1/2 lb. veal scaloppine, pounded thin & cut into manageable serving pieces
Salt & pepper
1 egg
3 tbsp. lemon juice, divided
1/4 c. flour
2 tbsp. butter
1 tbsp. vegetable oil
1/3 c. chicken broth or dry white wine

Lay pieces of veal prepared for scaloppine on a platter or piece of waxed paper. Season lightly on both sides with salt and pepper. In a shallow dish or pie plate, beat the egg until light with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Scatter the flour on a plate or a piece of waxed paper.

In a large, heavy skillet, over medium high heat, heat the butter and oil together. When almost hot enough to fry in, dip a piece of veal into the egg then into the flour to coat lightly on both sides. Add the coated veal to the skillet and fill up skillet with 1 or 2 more pieces. Saute quickly on both sides, until batter is lightly browned. Remove to a platter.

Add remaining lemon juice and broth or wine to skillet. Boil vigorously, stirring with a wooden spoon to dissolve any pan brownings and to reduce to a light sauce. Spoon sauce over cooked veal or turn each piece of veal in the sauce before serving immediately drizzled with any extra sauce. Serves 2.

Veal Francese is my favorite and this receipe was simple fast and tasty. The flavor was good and the only thing we have to do is to put more flour on each piece of veal for a thicker coating. Chicken is next.
