Veal Cutlets. — The choicest cutlets or steaks are cut from the fillet or center of hind leg. For Broiled Veal Cutlets, dredge with, pepper and salt and dip in melted butter and sifted bread-crumbs twice, and broil with a piece of buttered paper between the cutlets and the broiler, giving them time to cook through before the breading is brown. When nearly done remove paper and finish on the broiler. Serve garnished with parsley and lemon. They may be broiled without the paper. Or first half fry them in a little butter, turn white sauce over them and let stand till cold. Then dip in melted butter or oil, enclose in buttered paper cases with edges folded so that the sauce will not run out, and broil slowly twenty minutes or place in oven for same time. Or fry slices of ham first, then fry the breaded cutlets in same fat, and arrange on dish with alternate slices overlapping each other, spreading the ham with butter mixed with a little mustard, and the veal with butter melted with a little tart ielly. Or fry and serve with nice slices of salt pork. Nice with mushroom sauce.
