Kaiserschmarrn from Oma Elas

THE culinary Tyrolean classic is Kaiserschmarren. It tastes like long days of skiing and a stop for a break, like happiness at the summit and a pure holiday - whether at alpine pastures and huts or at home. Here is Grandma Ela's recipe for the perfect Kaiserschmarren to make yourself, also in our flats. The recipe is for 1 person (for everyone with a big appetite - "a nice portion" as Grandma Ela says).

Ingredients

3 tbsp flour
3 eggs
(we like to get them fresh from local farmers via the Regio Box just a few steps away)
1/8 l milk (about ½ cup)
1 pinch of salt
Clarified butter
(don’t be shy with it!)
Powdered sugar

Optional:

Stewed plums
Applesauce
Raisins (known locally as “Weinbearla” or “Ziweba”)

Preparation

Whisk 3 tablespoons of flour with about 1/8 l milk until smooth. Add a small pinch of salt.

Separate the eggs. Stir the egg yolks into the flour mixture. Beat the egg whites until stiff, then gently fold them into the batter.

Melt clarified butter in a pan, pour in the batter and cover the pan with a lid.
Keep an eye on the heat and reduce it if necessary. Once the underside is nicely golden, flip the pancake and cover the pan again.

When the batter has puffed up and roughly doubled in volume, tear the pancake into pieces using a spatula and gently shake the pan.

Arrange the Kaiserschmarrn on plates, dust with powdered sugar and serve ideally with stewed plums or applesauce.

By the way: Raisins are welcome in Kaiserschmarrn, but never mandatory
