Kaiserschmarrn or shredded pancake

September 30, 2016 By travellingoven Leave a Comment

I was not sure I will have time to post anything else this week as I was so busy with some projects I’ve been working on and in the afternoon I’m going away for the weekend but I managed to find the time to shoot and share this simple but such a wonderful little recipe! Have you heard of Kaiserschmarrn before? It’s a German word by the way and I definitely don’t speak German but this word I know as I know this dish very well. Kaiserschmarrn is basically a fluffy shredded pancake, which has its name from the Austrian emperor (Kaiser) Franz Joseph I. It’s a popular dessert (or breakfast!) in Austria, South Germany, Hungary, Slovenia, and northern Croatia.
I already talked about how most of my childhood I remember with references through food, I know exactly what I ate with my family on almost every single trip or travel we went to! I know, a bit weird right!? But I guess I was always a little gourmet and found so much joy in food since I was little girl! 🙂


I have very special memories of this dish as my grandmother in Slovenia used to make it every time we would come on holidays. Sometimes we would eat it in savoury version, slightly salty with a salad on a side as a lunch and sometimes it would be a sweet breakfast or dessert generously sprinkled with sugar. That sweet version was my favourite! 😀

Kaiserschmarren can be prepared in different ways and some people add different ingredients to the batter like for example nuts, cherries, plums, apple jam, or small pieces of apple, or caramelized raisins and slivered almonds. You can definitely play with it and try some of those but I made it simple, the way how my grandmother used to make it. Of course I had to make it a bit healthier without changing the flavour so I made it refined sugar-free and used coconut sugar instead of regular white sugar and that’s why my one is a bit darker colour and not golden yellow as it usually is. You can of course use your preferred sugar. I also used unsweetened almond milk instead of cow’s milk and bio soya cream instead of regular cream but all those ingredients don’t affect the taste so you can choose which ones you want to use.

I’ve put this recipe in breakfast category but it definitely doesn’t have to be just for breakfast, I’ll just say that I had a delicious dinner last night with a large glass of cold almond milk with it! 🙂

Isn’t it wonderful how food, its smells, flavours, shapes can bring us back in time, bring back beautiful memories and warmth in our hearts…

Total time
14 mins
 
Recipe type: Breakfast / Dessert
Serves: 2-3
Ingredients
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 tbsp sugar (I used coconut sugar)
  • ½ cup milk (I used unsweetened almond milk)
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 tbsp sweet cream (I used bio soya cream)
  • pinch of salt
  • pinch of grated lemon zest (untreated lemons)
  • 1 tsp butter for cooking (I used vegan butter)
  • Topping: coconut sugar (or cane sugar)
  • Note: 1 cup = 250 ml
Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl whisk egg yolks with all other ingredients (except egg whites!) until they are all well combined.
  2. In another bowl beat egg whites and a pinch of salt using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  3. Gently fold in beaten egg whites into the yellow mixture and whisk until they are all well combined.
  4. Grease large frying pan with butter and turn on heat to medium. Pour the dough mixture into the pan (it should be about 2 cm / 0,8 inch thick) and let it cook on one side for about 2-3 min.
  5. Flip it to the other side using a spatula and don't worry if it breaks as we have to break it anyway in smaller pieces.
  6. Cook on the other side for another 1-2 minutes and using a wooden spoon break into smaller pieces while still in the pan.
  7. Remove from the heat, serve on plates and sprinkle generously with sugar. You can also serve it with plum or other jam. Enjoy!

Serves: 2-3
Ingredients
  • SASTOJCI

  1. PRIPREMA
  2. U vecoj posudi izmiksajte zumanjke sa ostalim sastojcima (osim bjelanjaka) dok se dobro ne povezu.
  3. U drugoj posudi izmiksajte bjelanjke dok ne dobijete cvrsti snijeg.
  4. Lagano umijesajte snijeg od bjelanjaka u drugu smjesu i mijesajte pjenjacom da se sve dobro poveze.
  5. Malo namastite tavu maslacem i izlijte smjesu na zagrijanu tavu (tijesto bi trebalo biti oko 2 cm debelo) i ostavite da se pece na jednoj strani oko 2-3 minute.

  8. Posluzite na tanjure i posipajte secerom po zelji. Mozete posluziti i s dzemom od sljiva ili drugim po vasem izboru. Dobar tek!

Hi! I’m Lili and I’m so happy
to welcome you on my blog!

First things first. Why Travelling oven you’re wondering? Well, when this blog was created I had been living as an expat for about 8 years in beautiful countries like Scotland, Kazakhstan, Switzerland, Turkey...READ MORE...

The last few days since I came back to Zagreb I mo The last few days since I came back to Zagreb I mostly spent doing admin stuff and buying groceries (my fridge was totally empty!) and for breaks I did yoga and re-edited some older photos. So here’s one of them from beautiful winter @plitvicelakesnp, hope you like it...🦆❄️

After three weeks in Dubrovnik, the time has come After three weeks in Dubrovnik, the time has come for me to return to Zagreb. Besides the pandemic reality, in these weeks we had horrible earthquake in Croatia that took lives, destroyed homes and left the whole country in the state of shock. On a personal level we had to face death in the family due to Covid and if somebody tells me ever again that 'they would have died anyway because they were old" I will really lose it!! My little niece and nephew lost their grandmother and we all lost a person we loved. So, it was and still is a difficult time but life taught me many times before that we are stronger than we think and that the most important thing is to find peace within yourself. I still wake up every morning grateful for life, for my people, for photography, for all the little things that make life beautiful. And I dream about all the good things that will come our way... 
Sending you my love and positive thoughts and sharing these not so typical Dubrovnik photos.❤️

I know it's not the most colourful and bright phot I know it's not the most colourful and bright photo for this occasion but it represents what this year has been like for me personally. Difficult, lonely, at times very dark but at the same time with its sweet moments that I get to keep forever in my heart, beauty found in 'ordinary' and sparkles of light that give hope and comfort. I wish that 2021 will bring more freedom, health and happiness for all of us! Thank you for being here with me... ❤️

My favourite moments in these last two days since My favourite moments in these last two days since I came to Dubrovnik are baking ‘orahnjaca’ (Croatian) or ‘potica’ (Slovenian), traditional walnut cake with my mum, harvesting mandarins in our garden with my dad, soaking up the sun that I missed so much after about a month of dark and gloomy days, reading a book on the terrace and stopping every few moments to just look at the sea... All the little things that bring me much needed calm and joy. Hope you are all well and finding your little moments too...☺️❤️

I miss mountains, snow and travelling so here are I miss mountains, snow and travelling so here are few details from the Swiss Alps, a place I called home few years ago... It’s so strange, I am from Dubrovnik, born by the sea and of course I love it but I would choose mountains and forests anytime! It's where my soul is at peace and happiest.☺️❄️How about you?

Comfort food is just the best! I have few that ins Comfort food is just the best! I have few that instantly make me feel better like semolina porridge or spaghetti with fresh tomatoes and basil... Crepes with apricot jam are high up on that list too! 😉 I'm curious, what is your favourite comfort food?

Story behind this image: because of all the festive photos on social media these days, I felt pressured to create some in Christmas mood too. But nothing was going as I imagined and I simply was not feeling it. So I decided to put all that away and create something that reflects more of me and what and how I feel at the moment. So this is one of the images from that series. In the end what matters the most is that we create from our heart.✨
