I just watched this episode :D
I feel honored.
I'm not sure I'm quite picturing this from the description. So they kind of make a pancake then they tear it up and fry it? So it's twice cooked?
Its like a very puffy pancake, bake first, then rip it up, and then my authentic Austrian recipe doesn't bake it again. I love kaiserschmarrn.
Flipping the whole pancake is the hard part, cut it in half if it's not doable.
Here is the recipe I got from my Austrian brother from another mother:
200 Grams of Flour 3 Eggs 250ml of Milk *Raisins
Jam Powdered Sugar
*Only if you like Raisins
Separate the egg yolk and white. Mix the egg yolk, milk, flour and a pinch of salt together until you get a fluid yoghurt-like batter. Whip up the egg white and fold it through the mix. Put a covered pan on medium heat and butter it. .Pour the mix in, bake one side approximately 5 min's until the bottom is brown and the top is solidifying a bit. Turn it (Cut in middle if flipping as a whole is not possible, or turn a plate upside down on the top of the pan and use it as a middleman) and lower heat to medium-low. When the outside is a nice golden brown, murder it with a spatula. Powder it with sugar and serve with jam of your choice. You could also use apple sauce ...if you are the type of person that’s into that.
The batter could be 1.5-2.5 cm when pouring it in the pan, and will rise even further while baking. Kaiserschmarrn is traditionally served as non homogeneous pieces Don’t mix after adding the egg white, as this will destroy it’s fluffy quality and make your Kaiserschmarrn not puffy and sad.
The original recipe that I know does double bake it but there are literally infinite versions depending on who you ask and where in the country.
This is a recipe from a local supermarket chain, but it does the job alright: https://frischgekocht.billa.at/rezept/kaiserschmarrn-mit-zwetschkenroester-BI-27131
Zwetschenröster = sweet plumb ... Marmelade? Hard to describe.
Run the site through google translate and you have a rough idea.any English site I can find has only simplified versions
you shred it when it has already set somewhat. like you start with the batter, let it set in a hot pan, and before it's completely done you shred it and finish cooking the pieces
I think they just cook it good then shred it idk
It's also an option to put it in a baking dish after tearing up, sprinkle some sugar on it and then putting it in the oven for a bit so that the sugar caramelizes.
At least that's how my ex did it and she learned it that way at a tourism school where they had cooking courses. Tasted really good tbh.
The story of the name goes that Emperor Franz Joseph ordered his cook to do some dinner out of no where. The cook though didnt have many ingreedients and then also butchered the pancakes. When he served it to the emperor, the emperor called out "Wos'n des für a schmarrn!"
Atleast thats the version i know
It's better than pancakes, so good.
