    Taste and Occasion

    The traditional pastry, similar to pancakes or waffles, hits the spot with the whole family, making it the perfect weekend meal. The preparation is not elaborate, the result tastes a little different depending on the side dish.

    Austrian dessert classic Kaiserschmarrn

    Ingredients

    Like pancakes, Kaiserschmarrn dough consists of eggs, flour, milk and sugar. I recommend you separate the eggs, because the result is especially airy and fluffy due to the stiffly beaten egg whites.

    There are many original Kaiserschmarrn recipes where the Austrian pancakes are made in the oven (usually after the dough has been in the pan anyway). You can read about the preparation of this Kaiserschmarrn without raisins. I limit myself to baking in the pan. Works just as well - and is much faster.

    How to make the Austrian Pancakes with Raisins

    You can start with the dough by separating the eggs. Beat the beaten egg whites with salt until they are very stiff and set it aside.

    Beat the egg yolks with sugar until the mixture is light and frothy. Mix in flour alternating with milk. Add raisins and beaten egg white in the next step.

    The typical element of the dessert is its appearance. To be honest, pancakes sometimes look like Kaiserschmarrn 😉 - namely when I can't manage to turn the dough properly. With Kaiserschmarrn it even has to be like that.

    I first bake the dough at medium heat until it is slightly firm and light brown at the bottom. Then I quarter the pancake, turn it over and bake it - almost done.

    Recipe Recommendation

    German Pfannkuchen (Pancakes)

    THE classic for the whole family. This easy, quick basic Pfannkuchen recipe is suitable for sweet and savory German pancakes.

    Finally, I tear everything into pieces with two spatulas. Then I sprinkle a tablespoon of sugar on top and let it caramelize briefly. Looks wonderfully imperfect. And tastes wonderfully perfect!

    Top Tip

    Traditionally, Austrian pancakes with raisins are served with a plum roaster, often also with apple sauce. But we also serve stewed cherries or jam with it.
