Kaiserschmarrn

I just returned from a meeting with friends in Düsseldorf.

Although it is not really the right City/Region to enjoy Kaiserschmarrn (you usually eat this in Austria or Bavaria), one of them tried that sweet dish and was absolutely delighted.

So I had a look through my recipes at home and voilà, dug out this simple and tasty recipe.

Ingredients

¼ liter of milk
3 Egg yolks
pinch of salt
1 tbsp icing sugar
160 g flour
1 tablespoon cream
3 Egg whites, beat them till stiff
30 g raisins, soaked in rum or in juice
60 g butter, for frying
10g vanilla sugar
icing sugar, for dusting

Method

Mix the milk, egg yolks, salt, sugar and flour, well.

Stir in the cream and the beaten white of the eggs, add the raisins.
Melt the butter in a frying pan, pour the batter in and let it get slightly crisp and brown underneath, then turn around.

Let that side get slightly crispy and brown as well.

Now tear into small pieces using two forks.

Let it again roast for a little while.

Sprinkle the whole with some vanilla and powdered sugar.

Ready!

Preferably serve with plum compote.
