Steps for preparing and cooking pan-fried veal liver:
Dry the veal liver well with paper towels, so when you flour it, the flour adheres well.
Place all-purpose flour on a plate and coat a slice of liver thoroughly in the flour, making sure the flour adheres well over the entire slice, and remove any excess flour. Repeat the same process with all available slices.
In a pan, add butter and a bay leaf previously washed and dried, melt the butter and add the liver slices.
Cook the meat on medium-high heat first on one side and then on the other, season with salt and deglaze with less than a coffee cup of white wine.
When the wine has evaporated, lower the heat and finish cooking the liver.
When the liver is cooked, place it on plates and add the sauce formed during cooking.
Serve immediately.
