Cuisine: Austrian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup gluten-free flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chocolate shavings
- Butter for frying
Instructions
- Separate egg whites and egg yolks into two clean mixing bowls. Ensure no yolk contaminates the egg whites to maintain proper volume.
- In the egg yolk bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour, milk, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and free of lumps. The batter should have a consistent, creamy texture.
- Beat egg whites using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. The whites should be glossy and hold their shape when the mixer is lifted.
- Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the flour-milk mixture, using a spatula. Use a folding technique to maintain the air and volume in the egg whites.
- Heat a large non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan over medium heat. Add a generous pat of butter to coat the bottom of the pan.
- Pour the batter into the heated pan, spreading it evenly. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the bottom becomes golden brown and set.
- Using a spatula, begin breaking the pancake into irregular pieces, turning each piece to ensure even browning on all sides.
- Continue cooking and breaking the Kaiserschmarrn, allowing it to develop crispy edges and a golden-brown color throughout.
- Sprinkle chocolate shavings over the Kaiserschmarrn during the final minutes of cooking, allowing them to melt slightly into the dish.
- Transfer the finished Kaiserschmarrn to serving plates. Dust with additional powdered sugar if desired.
- Optional: Serve with a side of Stracciatella cream by mixing vanilla cream with additional chocolate shavings.
Tips
- Egg Separation: Make sure to separate the egg whites and yolks carefully. Any yolk in the whites can prevent them from whipping up to their full volume, resulting in a denser dish.
- Smooth Batter: Whisk the egg yolks, flour, milk, sugar, and vanilla extract until the batter is completely smooth. This ensures an even texture and helps the Kaiserschmarrn rise beautifully.
- Folding Technique: When incorporating the beaten egg whites into the batter, be gentle! Use a folding motion to keep the air in the egg whites, which will give your dish that light and airy quality.
- Pan Temperature: Preheat your skillet properly before pouring in the batter. A medium heat is ideal for achieving a golden-brown crust without burning.
- Breaking It Up: Don’t be afraid to get a little rough when breaking the pancake into pieces! This will create those delightful crispy edges that make Kaiserschmarrn so irresistible.
- Serving Suggestions: For an extra touch of indulgence, serve your Kaiserschmarrn with a dollop of Stracciatella cream on the side. It adds a rich, chocolatey flavor that perfectly complements the sweetness of the dish.
- Garnish: A dusting of powdered sugar before serving not only enhances the presentation but also adds an extra layer of sweetness that pairs beautifully with the chocolate shavings.
