Kaiserschmarrn or Austrian torn Pancake


 2 years ago we tried Kairserchman in Vienna. It was so fluffy, comforting and delicious during the super cold Christmas days we spent there. 

Last saturday I was cold, miserable and kinda bored. It was the perfect moment to give it a go with Deb's Steamy Kitchen recipe that I had eyeballed a while ago. And yup, it was as satisfying as it looked....not hard either! Perfect for winter.

INGREDIENTS:
-4 eggs 
-2 and 1/2 tablespoons of sugar.
-1/4 tsp of salt.
-1 tsp of baking powder.
-3/4 cups of flour (1oo grams)
-1/2 cup of milk (120 ml)
-2 tablespoons of butter to fry.
-Caster sugar to sprinkle on top.

STEPS:
1. Whisk egg yolks, with sugar, salt and baking powder.
2. Now add the milk and flour and whisk till smooth. 
3. Now beat the egg whites until they fluff up like snow, for like 5 minutes.
4. Now fold the egg whites in the mix, try not to kill the air in it.
5. Now add to sauce pan with a litle butter. In medium fire add the whole thing and let it cook for 3-4 minutes. Now turn it around with a spatula and courage.

6. Now cook the other side. When it becomes gold after 3 or 4 minutes, get it out on plate and split it in pieces with your spatula (the center should still be runny).
7. Now add more butter to saucepan and golden up the bits for a few minutes...
8. That's it. Sprinkle caster sugar very very generously...

So good! So satisfying. A perfect merienda. Deb Perelman, you truly make this fallen world of ours a better place with your recipes and writings. Thank you.
