Kaiserschmarrn recipe from your own kitchen

Light, fluffy pancake with powdered sugar, just like at the mountain hut. Ready in 20 minutes, serves 2.

Kaiserschmarrn

Winter sports vibes without the slopes. Kaiserschmarrn is a type of thick, fluffy pancake that you tear into pieces in the pan and finish with butter and powdered sugar. It’s on the menu at every Austrian mountain hut, but you can make it just as easily at home.

For the full atmosphere: a mug of beer, your ski goggles on, and après-ski music playing. Serve with red jam or applesauce.

Recept: Kaiserschmarrn recipe from your own kitchen

  • Voorbereiding 15 min
  • Baktijd 5 min
  • Resultaat 2 people

Wat heb je nodig

  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • Pinch of salt
  • 250 ml milk
  • 120 g flour
  • 60 g butter
  • Powdered sugar for sprinkling
  • Red jam or applesauce (optional)

Zo maak je het

  1. Separate the eggs. Mix the yolks with the sugar and a pinch of salt until you have a syrupy mixture.
  2. Add the milk and flour and mix until you have a smooth batter.
  3. Beat the egg whites until stiff in a grease-free bowl and gently fold them into the batter.
  4. Melt the butter. Put half in a frying pan over low heat and pour the batter in. Cover and cook for 2 minutes.
  5. Turn the pancake over and cook for another 2 minutes with the lid on.
  6. Tear the pancake into irregular pieces with two forks. Add the rest of the butter and cook for another 1 minute, turning regularly. Sprinkle some powdered sugar over it now, so it caramelizes slightly.
  7. Serve with a generous layer of powdered sugar and, if desired, red jam or applesauce.
