🇦🇹 Austria recipe
Kaiserschmarrn
Legend has it that this torn, caramelized pancake was created for Emperor Franz Joseph I, who loved simple peasant food. Kaiserschmarrn starts as a thick, fluffy batter enriched with rum-soaked raisins and beaten egg whites. It is cooked in butter, torn into irregular pieces, and caramelized with sugar until golden and slightly crisp, then dusted generously with powdered sugar and served with warm Zwetschkenroester, a plum compote.
