Kaiserschmarrn Recipe

Let’s indulge in making a Kaiserschmarrn, known as "Trhanec" in Czech! It is a puffed pancake, torn into small pieces and served with fruit jam. A classic from Viennese cafes that we Czechs have happily adopted as our own.

Instructions

  1. Sift 1 cup all-purpose flour mixed with ¼ teaspoon salt into a bowl. In a separate clean bowl, whisk together 1 cup milk, 1 Tablespoon granulated sugar, and 2 egg yolks. Stir the egg mixture into the flour until a pancake batter is formed. Let it rest for 15 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, beat 2 egg whites to stiff peaks and gently fold into the batter.
  3. Melt ½ Tablespoon of the butter in a large nonstick skillet with a lid over medium heat. Pour in the batter and sprinkle the raisins on top.
  4. Cover with the lid and wait until the underside is browned. Then, use two forks to tear the thick pancake into bite-sized pieces. At this point, add another ½ Tablespoon of butter to the pan. Flip the shredded pieces and fry them until golden.
  5. Serve warm, generously dusted with powdered sugar, and accompanied by a bowl of fruit jam on the side.

Notes

  • The basic recipe makes 2 Kaiserschmarrn pacakes.
  • Serve dusted with powdered sugar and a bowl of fruit jam as a dessert or a light lunch.
  • The Kaiserschmarrn pancake should be about 1-inch high. If the batter layer is thicker, the bottom will be cooked through while the middle will still be runny.
  • It is important to fry the pancake over medium heat. If the heat is too high, the Kaiserschmarrn will burn on the bottom. Be patient and maintain medium heat.
