  6. Put the flour, the egg and the breadcrumbs each in a soup plate. Whisk the egg.
  7. Turn the meat in the flour first.
  8. Then put it in the plate with the egg and turn it several times so that all sides are well covered.
  9. Roll it in the plate with the breadcrumbs.

Whisk some whipped cream or sip milk with the egg to make the breading more airy.
