Best 5 Kaiserschmarrn Recipes

KAISERSCHMARRN

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine raisins with rum and let soak 30 minutes then drain.
• In a medium mixing bowl, beat together the milk, eggs, white sugar, vanilla, and salt. Gradually whisk in the flour to make a smooth batter. Stir in the drained raisins.
• In a large skillet melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Pour the batter into the skillet and cook 5 to 6 minutes, or until the pancake has set and the bottom is golden brown. Turn over the pancake and cook 3 minutes, or until this side is also golden brown. Using a spatula or two forks, tear the pancake into bite-size pieces. Drizzle in the melted butter and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar. Turn up the heat to medium high and use a spatula to gently toss the pieces for 5 minutes, or until the sugar has caramelized. Sprinkle with additional confectioners' sugar and serve with plum preserves.

KAISERSCHMARRN

Steps:

• For the pancake: Soak the raisins in the rum in a small bowl until slightly softened.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (see Cook's Note).
• Mix together the flour, milk, vanilla and salt in a large bowl until smooth. Mix in the egg yolks. In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites and granulated sugar to stiff peaks. Fold the egg whites into the flour mixture.
• Melt the butter in a large cast-iron pan over medium heat and pour the batter into the pan. Take the raisins out of the rum and sprinkle them over the batter. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake until the pancake is a nice light brown color, about 15 minutes. Remove the pancake from the pan and set it aside.
• For the caramel: Heat the butter and granulated sugar in the pancake pan over medium heat until the sugar caramelizes, 3 to 4 minutes. Rip or cut the pancake into bite-size pieces and toss them in the caramel.
• Transfer the pancake pieces to a serving plate and dust confectioners' sugar on top. Serve with applesauce and/or stewed plums on the side.

KAISERSCHMARRN (EMPEROR'S CUT-UPS) RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• Mix the flour, milk, egg yolks, salt, melted butter and 1 tablespoon sugar into a smooth batter. Cover and let rest 30 minutes for the flour to swell. Beat the egg whites with 1 tablespoon sugar until stiff and gently fold into the batter. Melt the clarified butter in a non-stick pan; pour the batter in, cover and cook. Once the underside of the pancake has turned golden, turn it over and continue to cook uncovered until the other side has also turned golden brown. Cut up into bite-sized pieces. Sprinkle the pancake, while still hot, with powdered sugar or a mixture of cinnamon sugar. Tips and hints: Kaiserschmarrn is even more delectable if you caramelize the powdered sugar in the pan instead of dusting it on afterwards. Just free up a corner of the pan when cooking the Kaisershmarrn and sprinkle in 1 to 2 teaspoons powdered sugar. Once the powdered sugar has caramelized, which will happen very quickly, move the pancake back over it and spread it all around. Strained pears, applesauce or plum compote is the traditional accompaniment.

KAISERSCHMARRN WITH PEACHES

Steps:

• Melt 1/2 tablespoon of the butter in a 12 inch non-stick skillet. Add the peaches, 1 tablespoon of the granulated sugar and the lemon juice and cook over high heat, stirring occasionally, until the peaches are tender and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer the peaches to a plate and clean the skillet.
• In a large bowl, whisk the flour, milk, egg yolks, zest and 2 tablespoons of the granulated sugar until smooth. In another bowl, beat the egg whites with the salt until soft peaks form. Beat in the remaining 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar until the whites are glossy. Fold the whites into the batter until no streaks remain.
• In the skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter. Add the batter, cover and cook over moderately low heat until it is golden on the bottom and the top is beginning to set, 4 to 5 minutes. Slide the pancake onto a large plate. Carefully invert the skillet over the pancake. Using oven mitts, flip the skillet and the plate to return the pancake to the pan. Cook until the underside of the pancake is set and lightly browned, about 2 minutes.
• With a spatula, cut the pancake in the skillet into 2-inch squares. Dot with the remaining 2 1/2 tablespoons of butter, sprinkle with 1/3 cup of confectioners' sugar and top with the peaches. Cook and toss or stir until the pancake is caramelized, about 5 minutes. Add the blackberries and toss or stir until they are heated through, about 1 minute. Transfer to a platter, sprinkle with confectioners' sugar and serve.

Steps:

• Beat milk and eggs until smooth. Whisk together flour, sugar and salt. Pour wet ingredients over dry and stir just until combined.
• Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Melt butter. Pour in batter. Let cook, undisturbed, until the bottom is beginning to brown, about 4 minutes. Using a spatula, flip the batter in sections, scrambling it. Allow to cook again until it begins to brown, 3-4 minutes. Repeat 3-5 times, until all the batter is in scrambled curds and has browned. Dust with powdered sugar and serve with fruit preserves.
