How to Make Austrian Kaiserschmarren Emperor's Pancake

  1. In a large bowl, sift together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  2. Gradually whisk in 1 cup milk until smooth.
  3. Add 4 large egg yolks one at a time, whisking well after each addition.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat 4 large egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold 1/3 of the egg whites into the batter.
  5. Carefully fold in the remaining egg whites until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in an 8- to 9-inch non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
  7. 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.
  8. Using a spatula, carefully loosen the edges of the pancake. Gently flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown.
  9. Transfer the pancake to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  10. Generously dust both pancakes with powdered sugar.
  11. Using two forks, gently tear the pancakes into irregular pieces.
  12. Serve immediately and enjoy this decadent Austrian treat!
