1/ Separate the eggs into yolks and whites. Place the egg yolks in a large main bowl.
2/ โโโMelt 40g of butter in the microwave.
3/ Add the vanilla sugar and sugar to the bowl with the egg yolks and whisk with a hand mixer or a whisk until foamy.
4/ Add the milk and flour alternately in small amounts, mixing as you go.
5/ Add the melted butter and mix, then let the batter rest for a while.
6/ Add a pinch of salt to the bowl with the egg whites and whip until stiff peaks form.
7/ Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the batter in several additions.
8/ Melt the remaining 20g of butter in a frying pan, then pour the batter in.
9/ When the surface of the batter starts to turn golden brown, use a spatula to cut the batter into four sections and flip them over. (Of course, it’s also fine to flip it all at once if you prefer!)
10/ Use a spatula to cut the pancake into your desired size, and itโs ready to serve.
11/ Serve on a plate, and for a delightful finishing touch, sprinkle with powdered sugar or drizzle with your favorite fruit sauce. Enjoy!
โ When I ordered this pancake at restaurants in Germany, it usually came sprinkled with powdered sugar and served with a berry sauce. You can also enjoy it with apple compote, your favorite jam, honey, or maple syrup. My kids love eating it with chocolate spread.
โ At home, itโs a weekend brunch favorite for us.
โ While you can find ready-made Kaiserschmarrn mixes in German supermarkets (super convenient!), making it from scratch gives you an extra-fluffy texture thatโs hard to beat.
โ Adding raisins is another traditional twist. Try mixing in rum-soaked or water-soaked raisins for a wonderfully rich flavor. Customize it to your taste!
โ As I mentioned earlier, this is a foolproof recipeโeven if things donโt go perfectly, it still turns out delicious. Give it a go!
โ I usually use a 28cm frying pan for this recipe.
