With a meat mallet or heavy bottom pan pound the cutlet to an average ¼ inch average thickness.

Dip the cutlets into the egg wash and then dredge in flour mixture evenly coating both sides and set aside.

Cover a heavy bottom pan with a layer of oil and then over medium high heat, bring oil to temp, shimmering but not smoking. Note do not allow the oil to smoke as the coconut flour may burn.

Gently place the cutlets into the oil and pan fry till the breading takes on a nice light brown color.

Then as the cutlet starts to stiffen up turn. Add butter and baste the turned cutlets with the melted butter.

Once the cutlet is springy to the touch remove and place on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil, blotting any off the top.
