Kaiserschmarrn Recipes

Steps:

• For the pancake: Soak the raisins in the rum in a small bowl until slightly softened.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (see Cook's Note).
• Mix together the flour, milk, vanilla and salt in a large bowl until smooth. Mix in the egg yolks. In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites and granulated sugar to stiff peaks. Fold the egg whites into the flour mixture.
• Melt the butter in a large cast-iron pan over medium heat and pour the batter into the pan. Take the raisins out of the rum and sprinkle them over the batter. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake until the pancake is a nice light brown color, about 15 minutes. Remove the pancake from the pan and set it aside.
• For the caramel: Heat the butter and granulated sugar in the pancake pan over medium heat until the sugar caramelizes, 3 to 4 minutes. Rip or cut the pancake into bite-size pieces and toss them in the caramel.
• Transfer the pancake pieces to a serving plate and dust confectioners' sugar on top. Serve with applesauce and/or stewed plums on the side.

Steps:

• Beat the egg whites in a clean bowl until soft peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form soft mounds rather than a sharp peak. Beat the egg yolks in a separate bowl until smooth; mix in the milk, sugar, salt, flour, and raisins until just moistened. Fold in the egg whites.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Pour the batter into the skillet and cook until golden brown; flip and cook until set on the other side, about 1 minute. Tear the kaiserschmarren into pieces using two forks and continue cooking until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar to garnish and serve with applesauce.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine raisins with rum and let soak 30 minutes then drain.
• In a medium mixing bowl, beat together the milk, eggs, white sugar, vanilla, and salt. Gradually whisk in the flour to make a smooth batter. Stir in the drained raisins.
• In a large skillet melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Pour the batter into the skillet and cook 5 to 6 minutes, or until the pancake has set and the bottom is golden brown. Turn over the pancake and cook 3 minutes, or until this side is also golden brown. Using a spatula or two forks, tear the pancake into bite-size pieces. Drizzle in the melted butter and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar. Turn up the heat to medium high and use a spatula to gently toss the pieces for 5 minutes, or until the sugar has caramelized. Sprinkle with additional confectioners' sugar and serve with plum preserves.

Steps:

• To make Vanilla Sugar: Take one tablespoon of granulated sugar - place in a tin, add 1 vanilla pod, seal the tin and wait at least 4 days. Remove the pod whenever required and then return it to the sugar. The sugar will be vanilla flavored for many dessert uses.
• Separate eggs and beat whites stiffly. Place loganberries through a sieve to puree. Preheat broiler to medium. Add the sugar to the stiff egg whites beating to form a meringue. Add lemon and orange rind and raisins - combine. Add egg yolks and vanilla sugar - fold in carefully. Into an omelet pan on the heat place 1 tablespoon of butter. Pour mixture into the pan and stir quickly using a palette knife. Smooth surface. Place kaiserschmarrn under the broiler and lightly cook surface until small bubbles appear and it has risen. Place loganberry puree and rum in pan on medium heat and allow to boil 2 minutes. Loosen edges of omelet and turn out onto a serving dish, break up with 2 forks and smooth with whipped cream and loganberry-rum puree.

Steps:

• Beat milk and eggs until smooth. Whisk together flour, sugar and salt. Pour wet ingredients over dry and stir just until combined.
• Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Melt butter. Pour in batter. Let cook, undisturbed, until the bottom is beginning to brown, about 4 minutes. Using a spatula, flip the batter in sections, scrambling it. Allow to cook again until it begins to brown, 3-4 minutes. Repeat 3-5 times, until all the batter is in scrambled curds and has browned. Dust with powdered sugar and serve with fruit preserves.
