Ingredients

  • 1 pound veal, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 cups seasoned breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil for frying
  • 6 to 8 wooden skewers
  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup (optional gravy)
  • 1/4 cup milk (optional gravy)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Soak the wooden skewers in water for 20 minutes to prevent burning.
  3. Season the veal cubes with salt and black pepper.
  4. Thread 3 to 4 pieces of meat tightly onto each skewer to resemble a drumstick shape.
  5. Prepare three shallow bowls with flour, whisked eggs mixed with water, and seasoned breadcrumbs.
  6. Coat each skewer in flour, dip into the egg mixture, then cover completely with breadcrumbs.
  7. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  8. Fry the skewers for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown.
  9. Transfer the browned skewers to a baking dish and cover loosely with foil.
  10. Bake for 20 minutes covered, then uncover and bake for an additional 5 minutes until crispy and cooked through.
  11. If using gravy, mix the cream of mushroom soup with milk and pour over the skewers. Bake for 10 more minutes.
  12. Serve hot with mashed potatoes, vegetables, or salad.

Notes

  • Soaking the skewers helps prevent burning during cooking.
  • Double-coating the skewers creates an extra crispy crust.
  • Panko breadcrumbs can be used for more crunch.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in the oven to maintain crispness.
