From your upload schedule to how you balance proper technique with enough accessibility for beginners and people who find the big words and unnecessarily expensive ingredients annoying, your content this year has been absolutely tremendous. Not even trying to be this edgy counter culture guy, it’s such a breath of fresh air compared to how gimmicky a lot of other big channels feel.
I totally agree. I like some of the creators that seem to put Wagyu or some other expensive ingredient in every meal. But I mostly like them for entertainment purposes and never try their recipes. I have tried at least 4 of Brian's and have a list of others to try and I have only been watching for a month. The other creator that seems really down to earth for me in the BBQ field is Chuds. Kudos Brian on making content and recipes that I can and do follow with great results.
Here in Germany, Spätzle are traditionally scraped from a wooden board into the pot but nowadays people just use a ricer, that's a lot easier than using a colander.
Not everywhere tho. I'm from the bavarian swabian parts and you allmost never see the wooden board scraped kind here. Some even say its blasphemy ......But no matter the shape and form, Spätzle rule!
I'm just imaging a squeeze bottle or a funnel for spatzle. A colander just seems like a hard way of making a boiled funnel cake. Would this work, or am I way off here?
@@drewc1197 works fine I would say. You get longer noodles with that, which is similar to the ones you can buy dry and prepackaged in German grocery stores.
@@drewc1197 This is the answer I was looking for. I use a squeeze bottle. You little jerking up and down motions while quick squeezes. Makes them slightly elongated but gets really close to traditional without needing to own a single use Spaetzle Maker.
i love the idea of combining schnitzel with spätzle, though if you would want to go 100% traditional you would have viennese potato salad as a side, no sauce, no spätzle and no pickled cabbage. for acidity just squeeze some lemon juice on there
As a German, I have been looking for this comment. I’d never eat and I have never seen someone eating Schnitzel with mustard sauce or spätzle, nor cabbage. These are three distinct dishes which shall not be mixed. I probably know now how Asians feel about the western adoption of their food. I am baffled, intrigued and kinda lost. Cheers for all the videos!
What I was thinking. This dish looks more like Japanese katsu / Korean cutlet which is served with sauce on top, pickled salad, and stir-fried noodles (or white rice). Overall flavor combinations are more East Asian than German.
Hey Bri. Viennese Dude here. You did well. Very well indeed. And while what you say is true, that the original is done with veal, thats very rarely done in practise. We, however, also rarely eat Spätzle as the side. I was surprised by that, but not unpleasently so. Keep it up man,and if you dare, take a swing at Kasspatzln (Spätzle with cheese).
Couldn't agree more. Also...(Austrian) Wiener Schnitzel with Spätzle (what an odd pairing BTW) doesn't make this dish the "ultimate GERMAN comfort food" lol
Definitely a dope recipe. Made it for my better half, who's family is of German background. He knew it wasn't 100% authentic, but it is 100% delicious. I can tell he'll be excited for the next time I make it.
Try swaying the Schnitzel in the hot oil - just be careful, use a tall pot and hold firm of the handles. Helps it to puff up and give great texture through the air pockets this creates.
"I prefer tenderloin because, It's more tender". Classic. Thanks Brian, you actually make me think I can do many more things in the kitchen, than I give myself credit for.
This looks delicious and need to try the method with tenderloin! Just for trivia Wiener (Wien = Vienna) Schnitzel originated in Austria, not Germany. It's typically served with lemon juice, salt and lingonberry jam. Veal is also declining in popularity here, almost all restaurants make it with pork. Btw lingonberry jam reminds of the Swedish Meatball video...saw a glimpse of that before it disappeared and was really hoping to learn the legit recipe after eating amazing ones in Stockholm 😂
Really? That’s disappointing, we were in Vienna only as recently as 2020 and every restaurant we saw made wiener schnitzel with veal (some also did pork but they were generally more touristic places). A bit disappointed - I love pork and make with it all the time but consider Wiener schnitzels the OG and something so endearingly authentic about them
Thank you for pointing out it is not german. As an Austrian i started cramping up a bit when i heard the first few lines. And putting sauce on top is also a big no no. This is something that here in Austria immediately exposes you as german who doesnt know what a real Schnitzel is. Still love his videos though. But cant watch this one :)
Classically weiner schnitzel is served with a piece of lemon so one can have a choice (many don't want lemon on it) and Austrian potato salad not lingonberry sauce.
@@MaryanaMaskar First of all: To call it a real Wiener Schnitzel it has to be veal, like he said in the beginning of the video. If you don't use veal then it is called a "Schnitzel Wiener Style". Second of all: The bread crust has to be bubbely. You need to move the Schnitzel in the oil all the time to get it that way. Last but not least: You only serve fries and a lemon to a Wiener Schnitzel. But his version looks really delicious, too!
Better then nothing. Kalbfleish ist zu teuer, wo Ich wohne. Schwein und Huhner brust macht auch ein gutes Scnitzel. He can keep the sauce. Austrian in Amerika.
I have spent a good few years working on my spatzle game. I find that a few scrapings of nutmeg and some white pepper, both freshly ground. I also generously salt the water. I make my life easier by using a spatzler. When I transfer the cooked spatzle, I dot it with little knobs of butter. It helps when pan frying them.
As a german who also cooks Schnitzel a lot: Your base recipe is absolutely spot on and super close to how we do it. The prep, the deep frying and ending up in the oven: absolutely bang on. Just a protip: Some white pepper in the egg for the panade.
Not a combination we would usually go for here in Germany, but I completely dig it! That sauce looks awesome! I can recommend trying Spätzle with a mushroom cream sauce. That's one of my favourites!
Personally, potato salad is the way to go for me. Saucy ones are not popular in Bavaria where I live. I second the mushroom sauce though if it has to be saucy!
*You have expanded my mind, thank you!* It never occurred to me to use pork chops as schnitzel. I'll try it out next time because I don't think there's anything wrong with it, it looks like it's going to be a really good result. But next time please use butter instead of oil to grease the spaetzle/noodles, the butter gives the spaetzle an indispensable taste. And you dont need milk, just water. 100g flour = 1 egg. + salt, that's all. Then, after cooking, add butter to the spaetzle and you're done. :)
Ill say it now, not sure about the sauce, in Austria u usually just get Preisselbeersauce with it, which is apparently a smaller cranberry, its fruity and sweet and the perfect balance for the fried meat
I'm so happy you made this! Could you make more German/Bavarian/Austrian/Hungarian/Central European recipes? I would love to see some of those classics in your tried and true format! :D
Bri, I don't mean to tell a chef his business, but in making the spaetzle, I found a hack well worth sharing. After fighting the collander for the first batch, I pulled out my potato ricer, loaded her up, and bam, cut the whole process way down. It drops as a fairly tight clump but is easily broken up in the boiling water. Huge time saver!
Yum! Lose the cold cabbage for potato salad or pomme frittes, (sp). No mustard sauce, either. My mother, as German as one can be, would make this with breaded veal, sauteed in butter. Her spaetzle was made with a hoebel, (also sp) which produced round, plump noodles. These were warmed in a brown butter sauce. Talk about good! You did a really nice job, though. P.S. when the spaetzle came out of the water, it went directly into an ice cold water bath to stop the cooking. I was lucky enough to inherit her hoebel after she passed. It's my favorite remembrance of her. 😁🎃
My Oma taught me to make schnitzel, she used pork tenderloin cutlets. First she used a jaccard meat tenderizer and then beat it flat with a meat mallet. Rather than just salt she used salt and white pepper, using vegeta, chicken powder or some similar seasoning to replace the salt works as well, this what my aunt's did. Thanks for the video take care, God bless one and all. P.S. the schnitzel with the pickled cabbage or slaw are the base for a great chicken sandwich bun if there are any leftovers.
FYI, the capitol of Austria is Vienna, although that is the English version of their actual name for the capitol, which is Wien. So the Wiener Schnitzel is culturally made famous by the Austrians. "Schnitzel" however is ubiquitous, as pork e.g. in Germany... it only becomes "Wiener" when it's veal. Tha you again for a great video.
Hey Brian, I´m from the home of "Spätzle", south-Germany... I never did it the way you do it, with milk and through a colander, BUT: This looks so nice, I will definiltely try it your way next time!! thanks for all your inspiration and good vibes!!
As someone coming from Swabia (the area around Stuttgart, Germany) which is where Spätzle come from I have to say, they look pretty good. Even if they're not done the traditional way. Also love the way you say the word
Ja war schon lustig wie er spätzle ausgesprochen hat. My us husband cant pronounce it the correct way and we are for almost 10 years now Liebe grüsse Claus
@@clausstimpfi4467 SAME! My husband can’t pronounce German words to save his life! He loves when I make Spätzle from scratch, though. My Oma made them with a Spätzlebrett, but I’m not so talented. 😅 I use a press instead.
Omg this made me so happy! My godmother was the quintessential little old German lady, and she used to make this for us. My mom’s family lived in Germany when she was a kid which is where she met my godmother, this is something they would eat often
I grew up thinking that I wasn't a 'foodie'. After leaving my parental home I mostly ordered in, warmed pre-made stuff up or followed the most basic of recipes. Discovering your channel at the start of the pandemic has sparked a love for food and an outing for creativity I didn't know I needed. Nowadays I love cooking and all it entails and love spending time making my loved ones happy with one meal at a time. Thanks Sir Lagerstrom. TLDR. Used to not care about food but now do cause of chef Bri.
Yo Bri I especially love this video because it’s a whole meal. Different textures, Good acidity, etc. Love this type of content. Looking forward to more!
wow, WoW, W O W ! ! ! I'm from Los Angeles and now living in Central Europe...you absolutely nailed this classic, and now all I can think about is your preparation and the results of your craft for this beautiful dish!!! Thank you so much for posting this, Chef...I'm definitely going to follow your recipe and try to replicate it at home. 😀😀😀
As an Austrian, I’m wondering when „Wiener Schnitzel“ became a German dish… Admittedly very delish looking Schnitzel! Well done! Are Germans actually eating Schnitzel with sauce and Spätzle?
I was kinda shocked as well. those 2 things dont really fit together. Especially when he added the sauce i was heartbroken, the poor schnitzi. not even lemon, nor lingonberry jam.... uff But all in all, great food, but in combination, idk!
@@BassBoostingBrony To wet it with sauce is a true sacrilege but I suspect that Germans might actually do that… 🤭 Armes Schnitzi, indeed 🤣 I suppose it‘s personal taste… I saw it made on another channel with red cabbage as a side. Awesome that such a nice Schnitzel gets featured here but the choice of side I find a bit unsettling…
Yes we do at least here in Baden-Würtemberg (Stuttgart). But not with this French mustard sauce. We use proper Bratensauce (gravy) or mushroom cream sauce. And we don't put directly onto the schnitzel. We have a little pot on the side to dip it in or just to cover the Spätzle with it. And of course with some lemon and Preiselbeeren. As a side we eat Spätzle, Kartoffelsalat or French fries.
Great video, but just one thing to add, this is Austrian and not German, Wiener Schnitzel is named after the Austrian capital city Vienna (Wien in German).
I am a Bavarian girl and I have to say: what an interesting way to combine Schnitzel and Spätzle. This is not common in Germany or Austria but: why not! We love Schnitzel, we love Spätzle. So let’s eat them together!❤
Fantastic recipe, I made this for the family yesterday, and it was a huge hit. Going into the rotation for meals with friends. The schnitzel was the most crispy I had ever accomplished. Going to use this for chicken breast for chicken parm. Thanks for all the work you put into the recipes and videos.
Thank you for making accessible and tasty food. This content you've been producing is the weeknight food I've been looking for and would actually be able to make!
Hey, I go to SNHU too and I LOVE IT! I feel that it is best for those who have busy or chaotic schedules. The educators are so nice and helpful. Im getting my masters in psychology and minors in sociology.
Small corrections to this dish. First of all, a Wiener Schnitzel is a Schnitzel made out of calf. If it is made out of pork, then it is called a Schnitzel Wiener ART (= "variant"). It is mandatory to call it a variant in Austria and is nice to have in Germany. Second of all, if you want to make authentic "Swabian"(=Region in badenwuerttemberg(Origin of Spätzle)) Spätzle, you simply use eggs,flour, a bit of water and a bit of salt. I would love to see more dishes from the German/Austrian/Swiss cuisine to have a look at different recipes and interpretations! Keep up the great work.
First of all, this "Schnitzel Wiener Art" is German Bullshit and has nothing to do with Wiener Schnitzel because it isn't German at all. So don't put your stamp on a national dish that isn't yours.
Swabia as an administrative Region is in Bavaria as a cultural Region it spans both parts of Baden- Württemberg and Bavaria. You can use just water a mixture of milk and water or just milk. Some recipes call for sparkling water. He also said that the traditional recipes call for veal. Calling it a non traditional Wienerschnitzel or a Schnitzel Wiener Art is basically the same.
@@carpediem5232 again this "Wiener Art" bullshit from the Germans 🤮 Wiener Schnitzel isn't from Germany so nobody cares how do you call it in Germany...
Worked out fantastically. Not all the cutlets were wide and perfect but worked out well Simple tasty and straight forward. My wife who was stationed in Germany said it was great and she will tell me if she doesn't like some thing. I wish I could show you the plating of it.
Never heard of anyone serving Schnitzel with Spätzle but I had Schnitzel with buttered Pasta (like Spirelli or Fusili) before. I'd totally eat that though. Looks glorious!
Piccata alla Milanese (batter is mixed with a good amount of grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese), spaghetti, fine tomatosauce, basilico and some extra Parmigiano Reggiano on top of all? The Italian way of a good 'Schnitzel' 🇮🇹😎🤙...absolutely the best for me
I just tried this recipe however I made a Jäger sauce to go with it instead. Holy crap! Thank you so much for how well you demonstrated this! It turned out perfectly all thanks to you!!
Looks great! That mustard cream sauce sounds fantastic, and I love the pickled cabbage - a traditional rotkohl is a little too sweet for Schnitzel IMHO, the acid of this quick pickle is gonna do a lot of work cutting through the fat. One side note is that, while Schnitzel can be made from just about anything that can be pounded flat (I've seen pork, chicken, etc. in Germany), Wiener Schnitzel as a term does imply veal. I tend to agree with Brian that veal is overrated, but if you ever see Wiener Schnitzel on a menu in Europe, it almost certainly will be veal.
In a big part of europe it actually HAS to be veal by law. "Wiener Schnitzel" is veal, while "Schnitzel Wiener Art" can also be made from something different.
Veal is used for the original austrian Wiener Schnitzel. In germany we often have Schnitzel Wiener *Art*, which usually means made from pig meat and is either served with pommes frites or more likely Kartoffelsalat(potato salat). Personally i very much like them made from Putenbrust, which is i guess translated to turkey breasts(though i believe our turkeys may be slightly different to the US versions). Spätzle alone would be too dry, which is why you added that sauce i guess, which we do not use at all or any sauce as the potato salat is already moist and even if we serve fries to it, usually just a slice of lemon to squeze ontop the schnitzel or some ketchup is the limit.
Dude, i'm sorry, i'm a german living in austria , but austrians would never even think of putting a sauce on their Schnitzel. It completeley destroys all its crispness. It's a mortal sin in austria. Just some germans (which the austrians don't like that much 🤣) put some sauce on their schnitzel sometimes. But originally it comes with just a citron slice on the side.
We used to make something similar to the spaetzle called rivvels. They were slightly bigger, dropped off a teaspoon. We always put them into potato soup. Ive also eaten them all by themselves, with a huge glob of butter. As for the pork, in Illinois we called those fried things breaded tenderloins, dipped into egg and coated with crumbled up saltines as batter and theyre served on a hamburger bun.
It's SOOO great to see you expose the wonderful Schnitzel & Spaetzle world to the masses. Love to make these - GF flour & bread crumbs make great spaetzle & schnitzel. I make a bacon mushroom gravy, but the mustard cream gravy is interesting! Keep up the great work Bri!!! (Will be looking forward to the Swedish Meatball recipe we were teased with earlier in the week LOL)
@Rachael Hoffman-Dachelet happy to! Alton Brown developed a stellar GF Flour Blend (250g brown rice flour, 250g white rice flour, 150g tapioca starch, 150g corn starch, 100g potato starch, 90g Nonfat milk powder, 10g Xantham gum) that I use pretty exclusively. So I use 224g of that blend plus 4 eggs (room temp) beaten, 1/2C (room temp) milk & 1/2t salt. Push thru a spaetzle maker into salted boiling water until they float, drain & cool in a single layer on a cookie sheet, then brown with some butter in a nonstick pan. 😙🤌🏻 Celiac disease will not stop me..! Good luck!
Awesome recipe! Two pro tips from someone who makes spatzle about once a week: spray whatever you're using to make spatzle with cooking spray, makes everything so much easier, and 2) but a spaetzle maker if you decide it's something you're going to make at least a few times a year, they're super cheap online.
But if you’re short, also invest in a step stool! 😉 I have to use one in order to get up over the pot and get the right leverage. Kind of annoying but definitely the best tool IMO.
As a German I could tell you for hours all the things which needed to be improved to be an original. But honestly, that's better than plenty of stuff you get around here.
@@geekmac9349 I'm sure it tastes great, like everything Bri cooks. It's a pity he didn't make a potato salad with it, spaetzle are like a separate dish (cheese spaetzle)
@@geekmac9349 People that want a dish as advertised? Dishes have names. A Cordon Bleu isnt a Cordon Bleu without ham and cheese. By your logic you can call a spicy tomato soup a chilli. But I want to get chilli when I read chilli
Hey Bri - longtime viewer, first time commenter…er. Incredible videos/recipes and really appreciate the research. Curious, from this video and your restaurant experience, what would you recommend a home cook to do with the leftover frying oil? If bottled back up, how long will it last. Any tips would be appreciated. Thnx.
Recently saw a "scientific" study asking the same question. They determined that oil used to deep fry chicken could be reused 3 times before becoming rancid while oil used for fries could be used 7 times.
Brian...You are a literal sorcerer. Best chef on yt hands down. I'm not kiddin' around. Every single recipe is absolute perfection. You've made my family a happy bunch these past few months. Thank you, thank you.🙏🙏
As always, I love that you give the reasons WHY you do things. So much more educational that way, and I always need to know why things are done the way they are. Otherwise, I'll go rogue and do my own thing!
absolutely the number 1 reason I watch this channel. You throw the science in to explain why you chose to do something. Your channel is definitely #1 for me.
Hey Bri, I am from Switzerland and I love your channel. I learned a lot from you over the years, thanks for that. But let me tell you that Wienerschnitzel is austrian and not german. You make it with potato salad and not with spaetzle. Nobody eats it with a mustard cream sauce, but with a cranberry sauce. And while cooking you have to sway it, so it gets "souffliert" and creats bubbles. I'm a big fan still 🙂
Holy crap! I just made this exactly as you did and, wow wow wow, this is the best thing I've ever made. A bite with pork, mustard sauce, and cabbage... my guy!
this is definitely an ultimate comfort food in my book. i love spaeztle fried with cheese as it’s own dish. slight variant, we make ours with farina and a spaeztle maker - you made the colander method look so easy, going to have to give it a try! thanks for another awesome video!!!
@@BrandiWL we usually shred a blend of jarlsburg and beecher’s flagship. warm up the spaeztle in butter and olive oil first then add the shredded cheese, stir gently as the spaeztle and cheese start to brown. you can use any cheese you like, however. my SIL uses regular cheddar and sometimes we use mozzarella if we don’t have jarlsburg (our house always has flagship lol)
@@BrandiWL beecher’s may be more of a regional specific thing, but you can order it online. i highly recommend it if you’re a fan of aged sharp cheeses. jarlsburg should be pretty easy to find, we get ours at costco or trader joe’s. swiss cheese is a close enough sub and also good. but truly, i don’t think there’s a cheese i wouldn’t try for this as long as it melts! :)
Excellent Brian. Always loved schnitzel. I'll have to give the sauce a try but it's hard to beat a thick mushroom sauce like jägerschnitzle. Never tried making my own spätzle before but you made it look easy. Cheesy spätzle and mushroom spätzle are great dishes. Something I love doing with red cabbage is putring diced red apples in it until they get soft. It adds a great sweetness to the dish while still being tangy.
You can do the Spätzle with the largest holes on flat cheese grater, too! It’s a great option if all your colanders have small holes and you don’t have an actual Spätzle “maker”
Spaetzle is one of my favorite food secrets. Takes minutes to make and you can treat it like any pasta and you look like a genius. Well.... unless you are in Germany and they would be like... uh, of course. I make spaetzle with eggs and a sausage gravy for a special breakfast sometimes. It's just awesome.
Darn Bri! My Grandmutti would be so proud! Spaetlze is one of the great underestimated side dishes of all time. And Red Cabbage? I like what you did there in lieu of the more traditional red cabbage that's cooked for a LONG time (tho that's delish too). You are the undisputed best!
Amazing Recipe, but some people might take issue with you calling this a Wiener Schnitzel. While this looks really good, this simply isn't a *Wiener* Schnitzel. A Wiener Schnitzel is made with veal; if you use any other type of meat, it's considered a "Wiener Style" Schnitzel. Additionally, a "real" Wiener Schnitzel is never served with sauce, but with cranberry jam and a lemon wedge (both optional). The sides to a "real" Wiener Schnitzel are either a Vienna style potato salad or boiled potatoes with Parsley. Again; this looks amazing and you'd definitely find preparations similar to this (particularly here in Germany moreso than Austria), but it's just a breaded Schnitzel, not a Wiener. Calling it a Wiener would be like calling any spicy fried chicken preparation "Nashville Hot Chicken". I personally don't really mind this (most Germans don't), but as someone who's lived in Austria for a couple of years, I've definitely met some people who would.
The sauce looks amazing. Seems a bit odd to pair a French sauce with a German/Austrian dish, but I'm sure it's great. I'm a HUGE fan of no sauce or gravy on my schnitzel; just fresh squeezed lemon juice. Nom nom nom. Off I go to incorporate what I just learned into my schnitzel routine! . . .
Well, it's actually not that odd. I'm from Alsace/Elsass and we oftenly eat pork, chicken or veal escalope (schnitzel like) and Spätzle with either mustard, mushroom, pepper or wine sauce.
@@Skyline68230 Yep, just about every culture has a schnitzel-equivalent, it seems. My little pea brain just sees "schnitzel" and then automatically thinks "German/Austrian". But it wouldn't do the same when I see "veal cutlet". Anyway, I definitely have to try this sauce!
as it's name says: wiener schnitzel comes from austria, not from germany and is usually served with potatoe-salad, never saw it with spätzle before. but doesn't look bad! the thinner the better!
Ok, couple of things as a german: - Wiener Schnitzel (Vienna Schnitzel) is veal, but german 'Schnitzel wiener Art' (Schnitzel Vienna style) is pork. - Waisting tender loin/filets on Schnitzel hurts my german heart. You use pork loin, butterfly it and beat it tender. - Making Spätzle yourself is a skill. You did good. - Rotkohl(red cabbage) is best made the day before, so it can mature it's taste. Cook off most of that liquid and try to add apples, nutmeg, bay leafs and cloves for that german Rotkohl taste. - French sauce on Schnitzel?......Someone isn't afraid of Napoleon ghosts. Jokes aside, there are endless possibilities for toppings/sauces. But plz try just simple lemon juice. Oh and mushroom cream sauce!
Great video! But some suggestions: I am from the south of Germany where Schnitzel and Spätzle are traditional. Usually Schnitzel are fried in clarified butter and served with a piece of lemon. The Spätzle usually are made without milk just with egg and water. Per 100g of flour one egg.
"Řízek" is a classic in my family or actually everywhere in this geographic area. I will admit that for a US base cook the schnitzel was made really well and I can imagine it would blow some minds! Congratz!
Thanks Bri! Love that you made my favorites that my father (born in Germany) always made for us. I miss him and all his delicious meals. Schweine Schnitzel (Pork)
As an Austrian, the original Schnitzelland, you committed a few crimes here. Schnitzel is never served with sauce and Spätzle here. Original Viennese Schnitzel is breaded veal served with parsley potatoes and lingonberry jam. The version here is more reminiscent of a northern german variation.
I relate to this so hard 😂 we don’t make it often but damn, when we do, it’s so worth it!! When I lived in Germany I was out at a restaurant and I asked about the Kinderschnitzel (I wanted to know if it was veal or pork) and my host family responded with “ITS NOT CHOPPED UP KIDS!! ITS A CHILD SIZED PORTION!!” 😂😂 I laughed so hard
This recipe will trigger lots of Germans for not being "authentic". And us Austrians because we like to tell everyone Wiener Schnitzel is ours, not German.
🎉🎉🎉 yay so good to see one of my favorite dishes here in Germany. Now I’m hungry as heck😂 thanks for the video dear Bri. In my Spätzle recipe I’m using 7-8 whole eggs, flour, a bit of olive oil, a good cup of soda water, salt and a bit of nutmeg. Plus I am absolutely lazy and use a Spätzle press from Amazon. Normally the dough is scraped from a wooden board into the water. But that requires time and practice. And I’m giving the mustard sauce a try. Normally I eat gravy with the Schnitzel
Hey Brian, here´s little Tip from my Grandmother for your Spätzle. Add a little more Water to the batter so it becomes more runier. Push all of your batter through the Collander. When the Water Boils and the Spätzle all swim up top, dump in a Glas of Roomtemperature Water right before you strain your Spätzle. This helps with sticking. So you don´t need Oil later. Also if you plan on making more Spätzle like this i would recommend you buy a "Spätzlehobel" from Amazon. They are not expensive an make it easier for you. Nice Video as always. Thanks for your hard work.
Come on Bri... Wiener Schnitzel is not German! The name itself tells you it's Austrian (Wien = Vienna). Also, please never ever deep fry a Schnitzel. In fact, a deep fried Schnitzel is considered poor quality. Apart from that, it look delicious! ;-)
i subscribed to your channel as soon as i saw "spaetzle" in the title of this video. i love spaetzle, it is my favorite food ever. I have my grandma's recipe, and i make it a few times a year for holiday's and birthdays. i wish i had paid more attention when she was cooking while she was still here, because she didn't write her recipes down - she just knew them by heart. i'm getting close to recreating her goulash (one of her grandmothers was from Hungary) and sauerbraten but i'm not quite there yet.
Add a touch of nutmeg to the spaetzle. I prefer a mushroom cream sauce to a mustard sauce and also prefer braised red cabbage with a touch of onions and apples. I fry mine in either ghee or a combo of evoo and butter. Looks delicious.
greetings from Austria. We would say the Schnitzel is Austria🇦🇹, since it's a Wiener Schnitzel - Viennese Schnitzel. 😀 Still gotta watch you video. I'm sure it's great. Like all the other ones. 👍😀 Btw I like how you used schnitzeling as a verb. 😂

What I was thinking. This dish looks more like Japanese katsu / Korean cutlet which is served with sauce on top, pickled salad, and stir-fried noodles (or white rice). Overall flavor combinations are more East Asian than German.
Hey Bri. Viennese Dude here. You did well. Very well indeed. And while what you say is true, that the original is done with veal, thats very rarely done in practise. We, however, also rarely eat Spätzle as the side. I was surprised by that, but not unpleasently so. Keep it up man,and if you dare, take a swing at Kasspatzln (Spätzle with cheese).
Kollege 👋. We could get imprisoned for pouring cream sauce over schnitzel here 😅
As a Viennese citizen I feel offended when someone puts any liquid over Wiener schnitzel (Wien = Vienna) - still a dope recipe as expected 😬
Pouring sauce over a Viennese schnitzel is literally a slap in the face..
Couldn't agree more. Also...(Austrian) Wiener Schnitzel with Spätzle (what an odd pairing BTW) doesn't make this dish the "ultimate GERMAN comfort food" lol
Sauce on a Schnitzel is blasphemy! Haha 😄
All Austrians agree 😁
I immediately cried out when he said spätzle, rotkraut and sauce with a schnitzel XD
He didn’t title this “Authentic Classic German/VienneseRecipes No One Can Dispute,”…geez..
Definitely a dope recipe. Made it for my better half, who's family is of German background. He knew it wasn't 100% authentic, but it is 100% delicious. I can tell he'll be excited for the next time I make it.
Your a great partner. Please tell him I said so!
Try swaying the Schnitzel in the hot oil - just be careful, use a tall pot and hold firm of the handles. Helps it to puff up and give great texture through the air pockets this creates.
true. Schnitzel arent really deep fried. A pan with a lot of oil and a constant move gives it that puff everybody loves.
I’m vague on the particulars, but J Kenji Lopez-Alt did a major test on this concept (& agreed with your technique).
@@dickdropkickmusic5177 traditionally schnitzels aren't cooked in oil either but fried in clarified butter.
This is the way
"I prefer tenderloin because, It's more tender".
Classic.
Thanks Brian, you actually make me think I can do many more things in the kitchen, than I give myself credit for.
IVE BEEN WANTING TO MAKE THIS FOR MY GERMAN MOTHER IN LAW FOR MONTHS NOW 🥰🥰 thanks for the video. You’re my favorite to watch
Why German? Schnitzel doesn't come from germany.
This looks delicious and need to try the method with tenderloin! Just for trivia Wiener (Wien = Vienna) Schnitzel originated in Austria, not Germany. It's typically served with lemon juice, salt and lingonberry jam. Veal is also declining in popularity here, almost all restaurants make it with pork. Btw lingonberry jam reminds of the Swedish Meatball video...saw a glimpse of that before it disappeared and was really hoping to learn the legit recipe after eating amazing ones in Stockholm 😂
Really? That’s disappointing, we were in Vienna only as recently as 2020 and every restaurant we saw made wiener schnitzel with veal (some also did pork but they were generally more touristic places). A bit disappointed - I love pork and make with it all the time but consider Wiener schnitzels the OG and something so endearingly authentic about them
Thank you for pointing out it is not german. As an Austrian i started cramping up a bit when i heard the first few lines. And putting sauce on top is also a big no no. This is something that here in Austria immediately exposes you as german who doesnt know what a real Schnitzel is. Still love his videos though. But cant watch this one :)
@@maxl10k heul halt :)
Ha ha, the Italians also lay claim to having originated "wienerschnitzel"!
Classically weiner schnitzel is served with a piece of lemon so one can have a choice (many don't want lemon on it) and Austrian potato salad not lingonberry sauce.
Thanks!
as a german, i never seen cabbage and/or mustard cravy served with schnitzel ;) but i would give it a try
Yeah, I'd eat Spätzle with gravy, not Schnitzel
@@Scarlett.Granger but... but... Jaeger schnitzel 😢
@@DirtySouthSOHK first of all that doesn't have breading thats a big difference and second that's cream gravy, so fits with spätzle as i said
@@Scarlett.Granger it has breading where I'm from 🤣
... gravy*
I have just made this recipe for my family on Labor Day. Everyone loves it. Thank you very much. Keep up your good work Brian!
As a german I have to say it is NOT a Wiener Schnitzel but close to it. Looks really delicious!
What makes it not Wiener? I am curious.
@@MaryanaMaskar First of all: To call it a real Wiener Schnitzel it has to be veal, like he said in the beginning of the video. If you don't use veal then it is called a "Schnitzel Wiener Style". Second of all: The bread crust has to be bubbely. You need to move the Schnitzel in the oil all the time to get it that way. Last but not least: You only serve fries and a lemon to a Wiener Schnitzel. But his version looks really delicious, too!
@@majestic0110 only fries? Wrong bro
Better then nothing. Kalbfleish ist zu teuer, wo Ich wohne. Schwein und Huhner brust macht auch ein gutes Scnitzel. He can keep the sauce. Austrian in Amerika.
Ive been to Vienna, can confirm. Just fries and lemon. @@marvin2678
I have spent a good few years working on my spatzle game. I find that a few scrapings of nutmeg and some white pepper, both freshly ground. I also generously salt the water. I make my life easier by using a spatzler. When I transfer the cooked spatzle, I dot it with little knobs of butter. It helps when pan frying them.
As a german who also cooks Schnitzel a lot: Your base recipe is absolutely spot on and super close to how we do it. The prep, the deep frying and ending up in the oven: absolutely bang on.
Just a protip: Some white pepper in the egg for the panade.
bro why are you all starting your comments with"As a..."?
@@marie-rosebrixner1819 ..I think you know the answer to that.
I love the little ladle. The best accessory to ever have come with the instantpot
Not a combination we would usually go for here in Germany, but I completely dig it! That sauce looks awesome! I can recommend trying Spätzle with a mushroom cream sauce. That's one of my favourites!
That would be a jaeger schnitzel sauce, correct?
@@affenschwanz64 Jäger(schnitzel)sosse is a dark roux traditionally, no cream involved there. It would work with cream though 🤤
Personally, potato salad is the way to go for me. Saucy ones are not popular in Bavaria where I live. I second the mushroom sauce though if it has to be saucy!
I love to grow oyster mushrooms from box kits! Maybe I could make a mushroom sauce using those!
*You have expanded my mind, thank you!* It never occurred to me to use pork chops as schnitzel. I'll try it out next time because I don't think there's anything wrong with it, it looks like it's going to be a really good result.
But next time please use butter instead of oil to grease the spaetzle/noodles, the butter gives the spaetzle an indispensable taste.
And you dont need milk, just water.
100g flour = 1 egg. + salt, that's all. Then, after cooking, add butter to the spaetzle and you're done. :)
Ill say it now, not sure about the sauce, in Austria u usually just get Preisselbeersauce with it, which is apparently a smaller cranberry, its fruity and sweet and the perfect balance for the fried meat
Made the schnitzel and the sauce. Best thing we've eaten all year. Four big thumbs way up! Thank you Brian!
I'm so happy you made this! Could you make more German/Bavarian/Austrian/Hungarian/Central European recipes? I would love to see some of those classics in your tried and true format! :D
I'm also always in the mood for Eastern European recipes. I am Polish and I love seeing Russian recipes too.
Schwienhaxe!
Yes, there are so many great Polish, Bohemian and Russian recipes I would love to see you do.
This is similar to Hungarian nokedli and csepitke
@@gillianlindeen5823 makiewec Poppy seed roll is one of my favourites ,
Bri, I don't mean to tell a chef his business, but in making the spaetzle, I found a hack well worth sharing. After fighting the collander for the first batch, I pulled out my potato ricer, loaded her up, and bam, cut the whole process way down. It drops as a fairly tight clump but is easily broken up in the boiling water. Huge time saver!
Yum! Lose the cold cabbage for potato salad or pomme frittes, (sp). No mustard sauce, either. My mother, as German as one can be, would make this with breaded veal, sauteed in butter. Her spaetzle was made with a hoebel, (also sp) which produced round, plump noodles. These were warmed in a brown butter sauce. Talk about good! You did a really nice job, though.
P.S. when the spaetzle came out of the water, it went directly into an ice cold water bath to stop the cooking. I was lucky enough to inherit her hoebel after she passed. It's my favorite remembrance of her. 😁🎃
My Oma taught me to make schnitzel, she used pork tenderloin cutlets. First she used a jaccard meat tenderizer and then beat it flat with a meat mallet. Rather than just salt she used salt and white pepper, using vegeta, chicken powder or some similar seasoning to replace the salt works as well, this what my aunt's did. Thanks for the video take care, God bless one and all. P.S. the schnitzel with the pickled cabbage or slaw are the base for a great chicken sandwich bun if there are any leftovers.
FYI, the capitol of Austria is Vienna, although that is the English version of their actual name for the capitol, which is Wien. So the Wiener Schnitzel is culturally made famous by the Austrians. "Schnitzel" however is ubiquitous, as pork e.g. in Germany... it only becomes "Wiener" when it's veal. Tha you again for a great video.
Schnitzel isn't ubiquitous as pork.
Schnitzel from chicken or turkey is nowadays way more popular.
Greetings from Vienna.
Hey Brian, I´m from the home of "Spätzle", south-Germany... I never did it the way you do it, with milk and through a colander, BUT: This looks so nice, I will definiltely try it your way next time!! thanks for all your inspiration and good vibes!!
As someone coming from Swabia (the area around Stuttgart, Germany) which is where Spätzle come from I have to say, they look pretty good. Even if they're not done the traditional way. Also love the way you say the word
Ja war schon lustig wie er spätzle ausgesprochen hat. My us husband cant pronounce it the correct way and we are for almost 10 years now
Liebe grüsse Claus
Married....
@@clausstimpfi4467 SAME! My husband can’t pronounce German words to save his life! He loves when I make Spätzle from scratch, though. My Oma made them with a Spätzlebrett, but I’m not so talented. 😅 I use a press instead.
@@sevenandthelittlestmew guess thats alright. Well my guy is always starring at me when i prepare the spätzle. To him a mystery....grüsse cl
Spätzle with milk is something I can't get over, as a swabian.
Omg this made me so happy! My godmother was the quintessential little old German lady, and she used to make this for us. My mom’s family lived in Germany when she was a kid which is where she met my godmother, this is something they would eat often
I grew up thinking that I wasn't a 'foodie'. After leaving my parental home I mostly ordered in, warmed pre-made stuff up or followed the most basic of recipes.

As an Austrian, I’m wondering when „Wiener Schnitzel“ became a German dish…
Admittedly very delish looking Schnitzel! Well done!
Are Germans actually eating Schnitzel with sauce and Spätzle?
I was kinda shocked as well. those 2 things dont really fit together.
Especially when he added the sauce i was heartbroken, the poor schnitzi.
not even lemon, nor lingonberry jam.... uff
But all in all, great food, but in combination, idk!
@@BassBoostingBrony To wet it with sauce is a true sacrilege but I suspect that Germans might actually do that… 🤭
Armes Schnitzi, indeed 🤣
I suppose it‘s personal taste…
I saw it made on another channel with red cabbage as a side.
Awesome that such a nice Schnitzel gets featured here but the choice of side I find a bit unsettling…
"Are Germans actually eating Schnitzel with sauce and Spätzle?"
Yes.
Yes we do at least here in Baden-Würtemberg (Stuttgart). But not with this French mustard sauce. We use proper Bratensauce (gravy) or mushroom cream sauce. And we don't put directly onto the schnitzel. We have a little pot on the side to dip it in or just to cover the Spätzle with it. And of course with some lemon and Preiselbeeren. As a side we eat Spätzle, Kartoffelsalat or French fries.
@@MichaelAlthauser thanks for clarifying
This is an outstanding recipe. We've made for guests and family a couple of times now.
Great video, but just one thing to add, this is Austrian and not German, Wiener Schnitzel is named after the Austrian capital city Vienna (Wien in German).
Made it for supper tonight and it was fabulous! Perfect combination of flavors and spaetzle was fun to make. Super delicious!
You don't miss, man. Can't wait to watch this one! (With a festive beer, of course)
If you want longer noodles, you can put the dough in a potato ricer and push it through. That's how my grandma/dad did it
I will have to try that
I am a Bavarian girl and I have to say: what an interesting way to combine Schnitzel and Spätzle. This is not common in Germany or Austria but: why not! We love Schnitzel, we love Spätzle. So let’s eat them together!❤
Fantastic recipe, I made this for the family yesterday, and it was a huge hit. Going into the rotation for meals with friends. The schnitzel was the most crispy I had ever accomplished. Going to use this for chicken breast for chicken parm. Thanks for all the work you put into the recipes and videos.
He actually has a delicious chicken parm recipe too. I've made it several times.
Thank you for making accessible and tasty food. This content you've been producing is the weeknight food I've been looking for and would actually be able to make!
Hey, I go to SNHU too and I LOVE IT! I feel that it is best for those who have busy or chaotic schedules. The educators are so nice and helpful. Im getting my masters in psychology and minors in sociology.
Small corrections to this dish.
First of all, a Wiener Schnitzel is a Schnitzel made out of calf. If it is made out of pork, then it is called a Schnitzel Wiener ART (= "variant"). It is mandatory to call it a variant in Austria and is nice to have in Germany.
Second of all, if you want to make authentic "Swabian"(=Region in badenwuerttemberg(Origin of Spätzle)) Spätzle, you simply use eggs,flour, a bit of water and a bit of salt.
I would love to see more dishes from the German/Austrian/Swiss cuisine to have a look at different recipes and interpretations! Keep up the great work.
First of all, this "Schnitzel Wiener Art" is German Bullshit and has nothing to do with Wiener Schnitzel because it isn't German at all. So don't put your stamp on a national dish that isn't yours.
Swabia as an administrative Region is in Bavaria as a cultural Region it spans both parts of Baden- Württemberg and Bavaria. You can use just water a mixture of milk and water or just milk. Some recipes call for sparkling water.
He also said that the traditional recipes call for veal. Calling it a non traditional Wienerschnitzel or a Schnitzel Wiener Art is basically the same.
@@carpediem5232 again this "Wiener Art" bullshit from the Germans 🤮 Wiener Schnitzel isn't from Germany so nobody cares how do you call it in Germany...
Seriously dude 🙄
@@loretta6089 Yes seriously dude, Germans getting offensive.
Worked out fantastically. Not all the cutlets were wide and perfect but worked out well Simple tasty and straight forward. My wife who was stationed in Germany said it was great and she will tell me if she doesn't like some thing. I wish I could show you the plating of it.
Never heard of anyone serving Schnitzel with Spätzle but I had Schnitzel with buttered Pasta (like Spirelli or Fusili) before.
I'd totally eat that though. Looks glorious!
Piccata alla Milanese (batter is mixed with a good amount of grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese), spaghetti, fine tomatosauce, basilico and some extra Parmigiano Reggiano on top of all? The Italian way of a good 'Schnitzel' 🇮🇹😎🤙...absolutely the best for me
I was served schnitzel and spatzle together in a couple different places when I was in Berlin a few years ago...
Perfect comfy fall dish. Guess I know what we’re having for dinner. Thanks for the great recipe!
I just tried this recipe however I made a Jäger sauce to go with it instead. Holy crap! Thank you so much for how well you demonstrated this! It turned out perfectly all thanks to you!!
Looks great! That mustard cream sauce sounds fantastic, and I love the pickled cabbage - a traditional rotkohl is a little too sweet for Schnitzel IMHO, the acid of this quick pickle is gonna do a lot of work cutting through the fat. One side note is that, while Schnitzel can be made from just about anything that can be pounded flat (I've seen pork, chicken, etc. in Germany), Wiener Schnitzel as a term does imply veal. I tend to agree with Brian that veal is overrated, but if you ever see Wiener Schnitzel on a menu in Europe, it almost certainly will be veal.
In a big part of europe it actually HAS to be veal by law. "Wiener Schnitzel" is veal, while "Schnitzel Wiener Art" can also be made from something different.
Veal is used for the original austrian Wiener Schnitzel. In germany we often have Schnitzel Wiener *Art*, which usually means made from pig meat and is either served with pommes frites or more likely Kartoffelsalat(potato salat). Personally i very much like them made from Putenbrust, which is i guess translated to turkey breasts(though i believe our turkeys may be slightly different to the US versions).
Spätzle alone would be too dry, which is why you added that sauce i guess, which we do not use at all or any sauce as the potato salat is already moist and even if we serve fries to it, usually just a slice of lemon to squeze ontop the schnitzel or some ketchup is the limit.
I was in professional kitchens for 20+ years and still, regularly learn new tricks from you. thank you
Dude, i'm sorry, i'm a german living in austria , but austrians would never even think of putting a sauce on their Schnitzel. It completeley destroys all its crispness. It's a mortal sin in austria. Just some germans (which the austrians don't like that much 🤣) put some sauce on their schnitzel sometimes. But originally it comes with just a citron slice on the side.
You don‘t want to know, what we here in vienna think about people eating schnitzel with a sauce: 😂😂😂
and red cabbage.
We used to make something similar to the spaetzle called rivvels. They were slightly bigger, dropped off a teaspoon. We always put them into potato soup. Ive also eaten them all by themselves, with a huge glob of butter. As for the pork, in Illinois we called those fried things breaded tenderloins, dipped into egg and coated with crumbled up saltines as batter and theyre served on a hamburger bun.
It's SOOO great to see you expose the wonderful Schnitzel & Spaetzle world to the masses. Love to make these - GF flour & bread crumbs make great spaetzle & schnitzel. I make a bacon mushroom gravy, but the mustard cream gravy is interesting! Keep up the great work Bri!!! (Will be looking forward to the Swedish Meatball recipe we were teased with earlier in the week LOL)
I'm not sure what happened. I've already seen his Swedish meatball video, but it's no longer on the channel. Did IKEA do a copyright strike?
Kimberly, would you share your gf spaetzle recipe? Or do you just use a one to one flour?
@Rachael Hoffman-Dachelet happy to!
Alton Brown developed a stellar GF Flour Blend (250g brown rice flour, 250g white rice flour, 150g tapioca starch, 150g corn starch, 100g potato starch, 90g Nonfat milk powder, 10g Xantham gum) that I use pretty exclusively. So I use 224g of that blend plus 4 eggs (room temp) beaten, 1/2C (room temp) milk & 1/2t salt. Push thru a spaetzle maker into salted boiling water until they float, drain & cool in a single layer on a cookie sheet, then brown with some butter in a nonstick pan. 😙🤌🏻 Celiac disease will not stop me..! Good luck!
Awesome recipe! Two pro tips from someone who makes spatzle about once a week: spray whatever you're using to make spatzle with cooking spray, makes everything so much easier, and 2) but a spaetzle maker if you decide it's something you're going to make at least a few times a year, they're super cheap online.
But if you’re short, also invest in a step stool! 😉 I have to use one in order to get up over the pot and get the right leverage. Kind of annoying but definitely the best tool IMO.
As a German I could tell you for hours all the things which needed to be improved to be an original. But honestly, that's better than plenty of stuff you get around here.
Yes he didn't "souffliert" the schnitzel. And why this sauce??
@@tomheisenberg9394 Cause it tastes good so why not. I know it's not traditional but who cares about that when you're home cooking?
@@geekmac9349 I'm sure it tastes great, like everything Bri cooks. It's a pity he didn't make a potato salad with it, spaetzle are like a separate dish (cheese spaetzle)
@@geekmac9349 People that want a dish as advertised? Dishes have names. A Cordon Bleu isnt a Cordon Bleu without ham and cheese. By your logic you can call a spicy tomato soup a chilli. But I want to get chilli when I read chilli

Pretty funny.... I'm a Chef of 30 years.... love your channel.... and currently a student at SNHU.... keep it up Brian.
Hey Bri - longtime viewer, first time commenter…er. Incredible videos/recipes and really appreciate the research. Curious, from this video and your restaurant experience, what would you recommend a home cook to do with the leftover frying oil? If bottled back up, how long will it last. Any tips would be appreciated. Thnx.
Recently saw a "scientific" study asking the same question. They determined that oil used to deep fry chicken could be reused 3 times before becoming rancid while oil used for fries could be used 7 times.

My mom would put schnitzel coating on pork chops, fry and finish in a slow oven. Divine!
Hey Bri, I am from Switzerland and I love your channel. I learned a lot from you over the years, thanks for that. But let me tell you that Wienerschnitzel is austrian and not german. You make it with potato salad and not with spaetzle. Nobody eats it with a mustard cream sauce, but with a cranberry sauce. And while cooking you have to sway it, so it gets "souffliert" and creats bubbles. I'm a big fan still 🙂

Excellent Brian. Always loved schnitzel. I'll have to give the sauce a try but it's hard to beat a thick mushroom sauce like jägerschnitzle.
Never tried making my own spätzle before but you made it look easy. Cheesy spätzle and mushroom spätzle are great dishes.
Something I love doing with red cabbage is putring diced red apples in it until they get soft. It adds a great sweetness to the dish while still being tangy.
You can do the Spätzle with the largest holes on flat cheese grater, too! It’s a great option if all your colanders have small holes and you don’t have an actual Spätzle “maker”
I made the sauce tonight and it was DELISH! Thanks Brian, from Canada!!!
Spaetzle is one of my favorite food secrets. Takes minutes to make and you can treat it like any pasta and you look like a genius. Well.... unless you are in Germany and they would be like... uh, of course. I make spaetzle with eggs and a sausage gravy for a special breakfast sometimes. It's just awesome.
Darn Bri! My Grandmutti would be so proud! Spaetlze is one of the great underestimated side dishes of all time. And Red Cabbage? I like what you did there in lieu of the more traditional red cabbage that's cooked for a LONG time (tho that's delish too). You are the undisputed best!
I have never seen someone eat schnitzel together with spätzle 😂 It‘s like you can‘t decide what to eat - but omg, the spätzle look perfect

Wiener Schnitzel is not German, but Austrian, ist from Wien (Vienna). And even though it does look delicious, this is not Wiener Schnitzel
Cope 😎 germany for evah
@@AlmePng ?
That advert for SNHU got me good. I live 20 mins from campus. Keep up the great work. Signed: a prestigious German dude.
Amazing Recipe, but some people might take issue with you calling this a Wiener Schnitzel.
While this looks really good, this simply isn't a *Wiener* Schnitzel. A Wiener Schnitzel is made with veal; if you use any other type of meat, it's considered a "Wiener Style" Schnitzel. Additionally, a "real" Wiener Schnitzel is never served with sauce, but with cranberry jam and a lemon wedge (both optional). The sides to a "real" Wiener Schnitzel are either a Vienna style potato salad or boiled potatoes with Parsley.
Again; this looks amazing and you'd definitely find preparations similar to this (particularly here in Germany moreso than Austria), but it's just a breaded Schnitzel, not a Wiener. Calling it a Wiener would be like calling any spicy fried chicken preparation "Nashville Hot Chicken".
I personally don't really mind this (most Germans don't), but as someone who's lived in Austria for a couple of years, I've definitely met some people who would.
"Wiener Style"?
Let me guess, you're German...
The mustard sauce is divine! Everyone is raving about it.
The sauce looks amazing. Seems a bit odd to pair a French sauce with a German/Austrian dish, but I'm sure it's great. I'm a HUGE fan of no sauce or gravy on my schnitzel; just fresh squeezed lemon juice. Nom nom nom.
Off I go to incorporate what I just learned into my schnitzel routine! . . .
Well, it's actually not that odd. I'm from Alsace/Elsass and we oftenly eat pork, chicken or veal escalope (schnitzel like) and Spätzle with either mustard, mushroom, pepper or wine sauce.
@@Skyline68230 Yep, just about every culture has a schnitzel-equivalent, it seems. My little pea brain just sees "schnitzel" and then automatically thinks "German/Austrian". But it wouldn't do the same when I see "veal cutlet". Anyway, I definitely have to try this sauce!
I would think a mushrooms sauce would be perfect
@@PixelSchnitzel Well it's basically pounding something flat and breading it which is common things
Once again, thank you for publishing the complete recipe in the description. P. S, Your dancing should keep you in the kitchen for a lifetime.
as it's name says: wiener schnitzel comes from austria, not from germany and is usually served with potatoe-salad, never saw it with spätzle before. but doesn't look bad! the thinner the better!
If you want a little more flavour add some lemon juice to the egg dredge for the schnitzel. 1 tsp per egg works wonders.
Ok, couple of things as a german:
- Wiener Schnitzel (Vienna Schnitzel) is veal, but german 'Schnitzel wiener Art' (Schnitzel Vienna style) is pork.
- Waisting tender loin/filets on Schnitzel hurts my german heart. You use pork loin, butterfly it and beat it tender.
- Making Spätzle yourself is a skill. You did good.
- Rotkohl(red cabbage) is best made the day before, so it can mature it's taste. Cook off most of that liquid and try to add apples, nutmeg, bay leafs and cloves for that german Rotkohl taste.
- French sauce on Schnitzel?......Someone isn't afraid of Napoleon ghosts.
Jokes aside, there are endless possibilities for toppings/sauces. But plz try just simple lemon juice.
Oh and mushroom cream sauce!
Everythin you said was right. And then you wrote "oh and mushroom cream sauce".... Nooool mushroom sauce on a schnitzel! *angry austrian noises*
As an Austrian, the home of the Wiener Schnitzel, it'S always strange to see Germans to put their mark on a National Dish that isn't theirs.
@@arnonuhm9024 Jägerschnitzel ist based.
@@Sir5227 nein
@@Sir5227 No, it's not. Would you tell an itailian that pizza with pineapple or pasta with ketchup is based? It's just wrong.
Great video! But some suggestions:
I am from the south of Germany where Schnitzel and Spätzle are traditional. Usually Schnitzel are fried in clarified butter and served with a piece of lemon. The Spätzle usually are made without milk just with egg and water. Per 100g of flour one egg.
German food is criminally underappreciated. More of that please!
The Schnitzel is Austrian though, but lets not go there…
Oh please let's go there.
It's strange to see that the NATIONAL DISH of a country get's assigned to the wrong country
@@dozzzor as an austrian, putting sauce on the schnitzel is a waaaayyyyy bigger crime imo
@@guineppe207 Yeah, that too...
Wiener Schnitzel is (but then it's made from calf, not pork), Schnitzel in general isn't...
"Řízek" is a classic in my family or actually everywhere in this geographic area. I will admit that for a US base cook the schnitzel was made really well and I can imagine it would blow some minds! Congratz!
Man a wiener schnitzel is not with sauce and not with spätzle you eat it with potatosalad.😢
Or eat it with whatever the heck you want to, because gatekeeping food is not cool.
Thanks Bri!
Love that you made my favorites that my father (born in Germany) always made for us. I miss him and all his delicious meals.
Schweine Schnitzel (Pork)
As an Austrian, the original Schnitzelland, you committed a few crimes here. Schnitzel is never served with sauce and Spätzle here. Original Viennese Schnitzel is breaded veal served with parsley potatoes and lingonberry jam. The version here is more reminiscent of a northern german variation.
I think an even worse crime was his pronunciation of spätzle.
I’ve been craving this something fierce. I lived in Germany for a while and this is all I want mid-autumn.
I relate to this so hard 😂 we don’t make it often but damn, when we do, it’s so worth it!! When I lived in Germany I was out at a restaurant and I asked about the Kinderschnitzel (I wanted to know if it was veal or pork) and my host family responded with “ITS NOT CHOPPED UP KIDS!! ITS A CHILD SIZED PORTION!!” 😂😂 I laughed so hard
This recipe will trigger lots of Germans for not being "authentic". And us Austrians because we like to tell everyone Wiener Schnitzel is ours, not German.
🎉🎉🎉 yay so good to see one of my favorite dishes here in Germany. Now I’m hungry as heck😂 thanks for the video dear Bri.
In my Spätzle recipe I’m using 7-8 whole eggs, flour, a bit of olive oil, a good cup of soda water, salt and a bit of nutmeg. Plus I am absolutely lazy and use a Spätzle press from Amazon. Normally the dough is scraped from a wooden board into the water. But that requires time and practice. And I’m giving the mustard sauce a try. Normally I eat gravy with the Schnitzel
Definitely not lazy to use a board!! We use the big holes on a flat cheese grater 😂
@@amandashamanda9479 that’s a good one as well😁
Joe D I am German and I make both sauces the mustard and the mushroom so my family can have a choice. I also add nutmeg
@@lorifeldmeyer good idea by doing both sauces 👍🏻
That’s not Wiener Schnitzel! And Wiener Schnitzel is not from Germany but from Austria
Schnitzel "Wiener Art"
@@MD-lb1oz id sort of approve of that
@@MD-lb1oz Ok but a Wiener Schnitzel would never be served with Spätzle and cream sauce
@@MD-lb1oz "Wiener Art" is some German Bullshit and as we know, Wiener Schnitzel isn't German. So no, just no.
Hey Brian, here´s little Tip from my Grandmother for your Spätzle. Add a little more Water to the batter so it becomes more runier. Push all of your batter through the Collander. When the Water Boils and the Spätzle all swim up top, dump in a Glas of Roomtemperature Water right before you strain your Spätzle. This helps with sticking. So you don´t need Oil later. Also if you plan on making more Spätzle like this i would recommend you buy a "Spätzlehobel" from Amazon. They are not expensive an make it easier for you. Nice Video as always. Thanks for your hard work.
Come on Bri... Wiener Schnitzel is not German! The name itself tells you it's Austrian (Wien = Vienna). Also, please never ever deep fry a Schnitzel. In fact, a deep fried Schnitzel is considered poor quality. Apart from that, it look delicious! ;-)
How else do you fry a Schnitzel? It has to swim in fat.
i subscribed to your channel as soon as i saw "spaetzle" in the title of this video. i love spaetzle, it is my favorite food ever. I have my grandma's recipe, and i make it a few times a year for holiday's and birthdays. i wish i had paid more attention when she was cooking while she was still here, because she didn't write her recipes down - she just knew them by heart. i'm getting close to recreating her goulash (one of her grandmothers was from Hungary) and sauerbraten but i'm not quite there yet.
One of my favorite things to eat. Will definitely try making the red cabbage
My daughter is going to love this. She calls you “Uncle Bri”!
Add a touch of nutmeg to the spaetzle. I prefer a mushroom cream sauce to a mustard sauce and also prefer braised red cabbage with a touch of onions and apples. I fry mine in either ghee or a combo of evoo and butter. Looks delicious.
greetings from Austria. We would say the Schnitzel is Austria🇦🇹, since it's a Wiener Schnitzel - Viennese Schnitzel. 😀 Still gotta watch you video. I'm sure it's great. Like all the other ones. 👍😀
Btw I like how you used schnitzeling as a verb. 😂
