How to Make Austrian Kaiserschmarren Emperor S Pancake
- In a large bowl, sift together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually whisk in 1 cup milk until smooth.
- Add 4 large egg yolks one at a time, whisking well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, beat 4 large egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold 1/3 of the egg whites into the batter.
- Carefully fold in the remaining egg whites until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Melt 1 tablespoon butter in an 8- to 9-inch non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Pour half of the batter into the hot skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the edges are set and the bottom is lightly golden.
- Using a spatula, carefully loosen the edges of the pancake. Gently flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown.
- Transfer the pancake to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Generously dust both pancakes with powdered sugar.
- Using two forks, gently tear the pancakes into irregular pieces.
- Serve immediately and enjoy this decadent Austrian treat!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
