Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 100 g all-purpose flour
  • 300 ml milk
  • 30 g granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 30 g unsalted butter
  • Powdered sugar for dusting
  • Plum compote, for serving

Steps

  1. Separate the egg yolks and whites. In a bowl, whisk together egg yolks, flour, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.

  2. In another bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. This will help make the batter light and fluffy.

  3. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter, being careful not to deflate the mixture.

  4. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add half of the butter. Once melted, pour in half of the batter and cook for about 3-4 minutes, until the bottom is golden brown.

  5. Using a spatula, flip the pancake and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Once cooked, tear it into bite-sized pieces and continue cooking until golden.

  6. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding the rest of the butter to the pan. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

  7. Serve warm with plum compote on the side.

Why this works

Kaiserschmarrn's unique texture comes from the combination of a rich batter and the incorporation of whipped egg whites. Separating the eggs allows for a lighter batter, as the whipped whites create air pockets, leading to a fluffy outcome. The cooking method, which involves frying in butter, gives a beautiful golden crust that contrasts with the soft interior. If the pancake seems too dense, ensure the egg whites are beaten until soft peaks form, as this is critical for achieving the desired fluffiness. If it breaks while flipping, don't worry; simply piece it back together in the pan and allow it to cook further. This dish is versatile, often served with various fruit compotes, enhancing its flavor profile and making it a delightful end to any meal.
