📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Kaiserschmarrn means 'the emperor's mess,' and legend has it that a pancake made for Emperor Franz Joseph I fell apart and was served torn into pieces. Folding in whipped egg whites makes it astonishingly fluffy. It's also a specialty of Alpine huts, eaten with plum compote or apple purée.

🌆 Where it's eaten: On the terrace of a mountain hut in Tyrol, hikers back from the trail share kaiserschmarrn served right in the iron pan.

👩‍🍳 Instructions

Separate the eggs. Mix the yolks with the milk, flour, and vanilla into a smooth batter.
Whisk the whites with salt and sugar to stiff peaks to make a meringue.
Gently fold the meringue into the batter.
Melt butter in a frying pan, pour in the batter, scatter with raisins, and cook over medium-low heat for 4–5 minutes.
Flip and cook further, tear into bite-sized pieces with two forks, and sprinkle with a little sugar to caramelize.
Plate and dust generously with powdered sugar.
