Ingredients for Austrian Kaiserschmarren With Raisins And Plum Jam

  • 4 large eggs
  • Pastry Flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup milk

How to Make Austrian Kaiserschmarren With Raisins And Plum Jam

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until light and frothy.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour (adjust amount if using all-purpose flour as noted in the tips), baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Stir in the raisins and milk until evenly distributed in the batter.
  5. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat with butter or oil.
  6. Pour the batter onto the hot surface, spreading it evenly to form a large pancake approximately ½ inch thick.
  7. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Carefully transfer the pancake to a cutting board.
  9. Using two spatulas, tear the pancake into bite-sized pieces.
  10. Return the torn Kaiserschmarren to the skillet and cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the edges to brown slightly.
  11. Serve immediately, topped with powdered sugar, plum jam, and a dusting of cinnamon (optional).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
