Kaiserschmarren, Emperor’s Omelette or Fluffy Scratched Pancake
L'Antro dell'AlchimistaDescription
Kaiserschmarren — or "Emperor's Mess" — is a fluffy, shredded Austrian pancake that's favored in many former parts of the Habsburg Monarchy. The light, caramelized pancake features many variations, though it's generally made from a sweet batter of flour, eggs, sugar, salt, and milk. Then, it's showered in almonds for textural crunch and baked in butter, as is the case here. Upon removing the kaiserschmarren from the oven, sprinkle it with powdered sugar and serve immediately.
