A German ligature that originally stood for 'sz', but can be transliterated as 'ss'. It is never found in Swiss German. It looks like a B, but sounds like an S. Compare to the boring language known as English, which only has the ligatures Ã and Å, which are rarely used.

The standard flour-egg-breadcrumb coating seals in moisture and creates a satisfying crunch on thin cutlets, but for each step, there's a trick to ensure perfection. Keep these pointers in mind, whether you're breading pounded chicken or pork, fish fillets, or a meaty vegetable like eggplant. Working with one cutlet at a time, coat both sides with flour, then shake off any excess, which creates an even layer of breading without lumps or bald spots.
