  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

Pound veal cutlets to 1/8-inch thickness, if necessary.  Combine flour, 1/2 tsp salt, paprika and white pepper in shallow dish. Lightly coat cutlets with seasoned flour.

Heat 1/2 tbsp butter in large nonstick skillet over medium heat until melted.  Place 2 or 3 cutlets in skillet; cook 2 to 3 min. or until veal is cooked through, turning once.
