kaiserschmarrn

Kaiserschmarrn is an Austrian pancake torn into pieces and served sweet. Renate Wagner’s recipe combines egg yolks, milk and flour with lemon zest and vanilla sugar, then folds in beaten egg whites. Raisins soaked in rum are optional. The batter cooks in butter until browned, with either an oven or a stovetop used to finish it.[1]

The pancake is torn apart with forks. Butter and sugar are added for a brief caramelizing finish under the grill. Icing sugar and cinnamon are scattered over it, and plum or berry ragout or fruit compote can accompany it.[1]
