Kaiserschmarrn
makes you happy 😊 and feel like a queen or king👑
Kaiserschmarrn is a lightly sweetened pancake that
takes its name from the Austrian emperor (Kaiser) Franz Joseph I, who
was fond of this fluffy shredded pancake. It is served as a dessert or
as a light lunch alongside apple sauce and contains raisins or dried
cranberries.
Kaiserschmarrn can be prepared in different ways.
When making Kaiserschmarrn the egg whites are usually separated from the
yolk and beaten until stiff; then the flour and the yolks are mixed with
sugar, and the other ingredients are added, including: nuts, cherries,
plums, apple jam, or small pieces of apple, or caramelized raisins and
slivered almonds. The latter ingredients (nuts, cherries, plums, apple
jam, or small pieces of apple, or caramelized raisins and chopped
almonds) are not part of the original recipe, but additions made by
cooks based on their personal preferences. The original recipe only
includes rum-soaked raisins. The pancake is shredded using two forks
during frying and usually sprinkled with powdered sugar, then served hot
with apple or plum sauce or various fruit compotes, including plum,
lingonberry, strawberry, or apple.
Kaiserschmarrn is eaten like a
dessert, or it can also be eaten for lunch at tourist places like
mountainside restaurants and taverns in the Austrian Alps, as a filling
meal. Traditionally, Kaiserschmarrn is accompanied with
Zwetschgenröster, a fruit compote made out of plums.
