This year during the winter holiday my son brought back a taste for Kaiserschmarrn. For me it is a simple, yummy omelette: sweet and fluffy with fruit and thick syrup. However, I read that it isn't an omelette but a traditional Austrian pancake cut into small pieces with a fork. The recipe comes from the Austro-Hungarian monarchy. According to the anecdote it was first prepared for the empress Elizabeth Bavarian and she didn't like this dish. It appealed to the emperor Francis Joseph, who ate not only his own dish but also his wife's portion.
Ingredients (for 2 people):
2 eggs
3 tablespoons of sugar
125ml of milk
100g of flour
2 tablespoons of butter
a pinch of salt
decoration:
2 tablespoons of dried cranberries
2 tablespoons of pomegranate pieces
4 tablespoons of sweet syrup (chocolate, honey or maple syrup)
nuts
Separate the egg yolks from the egg whites. Whisk the egg whites with the salt. Mix the egg yolks with the flour, sugar and milk. Add the egg whites and mix them in gently. Melt the butter in a big pan, pour in the dough and fry on both sides until the pancake is golden. Put it on a plate and break it into small pieces with a fork. Sprinkle with the syrup, add the fruit and nuts. Serve at once.
Enjoy your meal!
