Kaiserschmarren
Contributed by: Christina C. Keimig
When I was a kid, I used to visit my grandma on school
vacations. Her sister lived around the corner in the
same condominium development, and I'd always go over
there one morning to have breakfast with my great-aunt
and uncle. My all-time favorite dish was one that was
supposed to be dessert for four to six people, but
skinny little me and my adored Uncle Fritz got through
the whole mountain of it almost on our own (Aunt Trude
didn't eat enough to really even count). It
translates as "mess fit for an emperor," and I
couldn't agree more!
Ingredients:
- 6 eggs
- 1-1/2 cups flour
- 1-1/2 cups milk
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- Raisins
- 1 cube (1/4 lb.) butter
- 1-1/2 tsp. vanilla
Directions:
How to make this wonderful dish:
Separate the eggs and beat the whites. Beat the egg
yolks a little bit (until lighter in color), then add
flour (all dry ingredients) mixture and milk (the
other wet ingredients) mixture a little at a time to
avoid splattering. Alternate milk and flour-don't add
it all at once!!
Melt butter in a (VERY HOT) griddle.
Carefully fold some of the yolk mixture into the
whites, and then dump the whites into the yolk
mixture. Fold carefully until well-mixed.
Be sure the raisins aren't sticking together, and then
add them carefully.
Pour into griddle. Turn over in parts (makes more
crust that way, and believe me, you want lots of
crust!). Tear with two forks and then add some sugar
over the top and brown for another few moments before
serving.
YUM!!!!!
