Ingredients
for
Tiroler Kaiserschmarrn
- 2 cups of full cream milk
- 6 eggs
- 250 gram / 8.8 oz cake flour
- 50 gram / 1.76 oz unsalted butter
- 100 gram / 3.5 oz raisins
- 7 tbs. rum or water
- 2 heaped tbs. sugar
- 1 packet vanilla sugar or 2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 2 heaped tbs. icing sugar
- 1 pinch of salt
Directions
- Add raisins, rum or water if you don't want to use alcohol to a glass and let the raisins soak in the liquid at least for 3 to 4 hours, but preferably overnight.
- Separate the egg whites and yolks into 2 different bowls
- Add egg yolks, sugar, vanilla sugar and salt to a large bowl and using a hand mixer blend the ingredients into a foamy liquid
- Keep on blending the dough while you begin to add both flour and milk slowly in small portions to the mixture, alternating one tablespoon of flour with a few tablespoons of milk. Keep doing this till all milk and flour are blended into the dough
- Melt half of the butter, add it to the bowl and briefly blend it with the dough
- Use the hand mixer to beat up the egg whites till they are stiff and carefully fold them carefully with a tablespoon into the dough
- Next use a strainer to separate the raisins from the excess rum, add them to the dough and gently mix them in
- Melt the remaining butter in a large frying pan with a non stick surface on the stove over medium heat
- Once the butter is hot, add a tsp. of sugar to the pan and let it caramelize for about 1 minute
- Next quickly mix the dough with a hand whisk and add enough of it to the pan to cover the bottom of the pan to about 1cm / 0.4 inch height, cover with a lid and let it bake in the butter for about 7 to 8 minutes
- Using a large flat skimmer carefully flip the Kaiserschmarrn on the other side, cover again with lid and let it bake for another 6 to 7 minutes
- Once it is nicely baked and partially golden brown place it on a large plate and bake the next one. The dough should yield 3 to 4 in total
- Divide the Tiroler Kaiserschmarrn into bite sized chunks, sprinkle with enough icing sugar to suit your personal taste and serve warm with plum puree or condiment of your choice.
