Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs, separated
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 tablespoons raisins (optional)
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting
  • Apple sauce or berry compote, for serving

Instruction:

  • Batter Preparation: In a mixing bowl, whisk together egg yolks, milk, vanilla extract, and sugar until well combined. Gradually add the flour, whisking continuously to ensure a smooth batter.
  • Egg White Whisking: In a separate clean bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter, maintaining the airiness.
  • Raisin Soaking (Optional): If using raisins, soak them in a small bowl with warm water or rum for about 10 minutes, then drain.
  • Pancake Cooking: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Pour half of the batter into the skillet, and sprinkle the soaked raisins evenly over the top. Cook until the bottom is golden brown (about 3-4 minutes).
  • Flipping and Tearing: Flip the pancake carefully and cook the other side for an additional 2 minutes. Using two forks, tear the pancake into bite-sized pieces and continue to cook, tossing occasionally, until caramelized and golden.
  • Final Touches: Remove from the skillet and repeat with the remaining batter. Dust the Kaiserschmarrn generously with powdered sugar and serve immediately with apple sauce or berry compote.
