2 Eggs, Separated
1 Pinch Salt
3 Tablespoons Sugar, Divided
3/4 cups All-purpose Flour
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
1/2 cups Milk
1 teaspoon Lemon Zest
2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
2 Tablespoons Butter, Divided
2 Tablespoons Crushed Almonds
2 Tablespoons Raisins

1
Separate eggs. With a hand mixer, beat egg whites with a pinch of salt, about 45 seconds.
2
In a large bowl, add 2 tablespoons sugar, all of the flour, baking powder, egg yolks, milk, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Mix into a smooth batter. Carefully stir in beaten egg whites.
3
Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a nonstick pan on low to medium heat. Pour in the batter. (If it's too much, don't pour in everything-make a second pancake instead.) Put a lid on cook for about 4 minutes until the bottom side of the pancake is golden brown, then flip.
4
Tear pancake into pieces with two forks (be careful not to scratch your nonstick pan, use plastic utensils if you have them). Transfer the fluffy pancake pieces to plates.
5
Quickly add the rest of the butter and sugar to the pan and sprinkle in the almonds and raisins. Caramelize everything for no more than 1 minute on medium heat, then pour it over the torn pancakes.
6
And there you have it: your Kaiserschmarrn is ready!
