Ingredients

  • 4 large Eggs
  • 1 cup All-purpose Flour
  • 1 cup Whole Milk
  • 2 tbsp. Granulated Sugar
  • Pinch Salt
  • ½ cup Raisins
  • 2 tbsp. Unsalted Butter
  • Powdered Sugar for dusting
  • Apple or plum compote for serving or plum compote for serving, (optional)

Instructions

  • Separate the Eggs: Start by separating the egg yolks from the whites. Make sure that no yolk gets into the whites.
    4 large Eggs
  • Whisk the Egg Whites: In a clean, dry bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form. This process will take about 4-5 minutes with an electric mixer.
  • Create the Batter: In another bowl, combine the egg yolks, flour, milk, granulated sugar, and salt. Whisk together until you have a smooth, lump-free batter.
    1 cup All-purpose Flour, 1 cup Whole Milk, 2 tbsp. Granulated Sugar, Pinch Salt
  • Fold in the Egg Whites: Carefully fold the whisked egg whites into the batter. Be gentle to avoid deflating the whites. The resulting mixture should be light and airy.
  • Add the Raisins: Stir in the raisins.
    ½ cup Raisins
  • Fry the Pancake: Melt the butter in a large, non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Pour in the batter and let it cook slowly until the bottom is golden brown. This step should take about 5-6 minutes.
    2 tbsp. Unsalted Butter
  • Flip and Continue Cooking: Flip the pancake over with a spatula and continue to cook for another 4-5 minutes until golden brown and firm.
  • Tear the Pancake: Using two forks, tear the pancake into bite-sized pieces. Continue to cook, tossing occasionally, until the pieces are evenly browned.
  • Dust and Caramelize: Dust the torn pancake pieces with powdered sugar and, if desired, caramelise under a hot grill for a few minutes until golden and glossy.
    Powdered Sugar
  • Serve: Serve your Kaiserschmarrn warm, ideally with a side of apple or plum compote. Enjoy!
