Name: Kaiserschmarrn (Austrian Jumbled Pancake)
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1/4 cup raisins; 3 tablespoons dark rum; 1 cup all-purpose flour; 1 cup whole milk; 4 eggs, separated; 2 pinches salt; 3 tablespoons white sugar; 3 tablespoons unsalted butter; 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar, or to taste; 2 cups applesauce

Servings: persons

1
Combine raisins and rum in a small bowl and set aside to soak.
2
Whisk flour and milk in a large bowl until well combined. Set aside for flour to hydrate for 10 minutes.
3
Whisk egg yolks and salt into the moistened flour.
4
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
5
Beat egg whites in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until foamy. Gradually add sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Fold egg whites into the batter in 2 batches.
6
Heat an oven-safe, heavy skillet over medium heat. Melt butter and pour in the batter. Sprinkle rum-soaked raisins on top. Let batter gently brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Reduce heat if batter browns too fast. Cut into quarters with a large spatula. Flip the quarters and let the other side brown gently, 4 to 5 minutes.
7
Transfer the skillet into the oven and bake until pancake is set and puffed up, about 8 minutes. Use 2 large forks to tear the pancake into bite-sized pieces. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar and serve with applesauce.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
