Yummy Whole Grain Kaiserschmarrn

Last night I was at a fun bridal shower and we got to talk with some ladies about all the comfort foods like crepes, pancakes, waffles, etc. One of my favourites in this category is kaiserschmarrn, but the ladies did not know about that so I promised to post the recipe. Kaiserschmarrn (“Kaiser” meaning “emperor”, and “Schmarrn” meaning “nonsense” in Austrian German, and etymologically related to the English term “smear” – mishmash, a mess, crumbs, a trifle, a nonsense, a fluff.) I would say it is a delicious mess :).

The whole grain kaiserschmarrn recipe has been one of our favorites for years. Served with apple sauce it is a great breakfast or dinner.  Here we go:

Recipe ingredients:

250 g (about 2 cups) freshly ground flour; I like spelt, wheat works too. And yes, as always I go by grams. If you need a scale go here.
2 cups of milk

6 eggs
2 Tablespoons honey or maple syrup (more if you are very much into sweets).
A pinch of salt
1 cup raisins

Recipe instruction:

In the morning, or the day before, mix freshly ground whole wheat flour and the milk in a bowl.
Cover and let it sit on the counter for up to 8 hours (store in the fridge if you want to soak longer or if the house is very warm, so the milk does not get bad).

Just before baking them, mix in the other ingredients.
Separate the eggs from the yolk, add the yolk to the flour milk mixture. Beat the egg whites until stiff and set aside. You want to add the whites at the end.
Mix all that together, then gently stir in the egg whites.

Grease the pan with coconut oil or butter and add about one cup of batter. Cook over medium heat until golden brown on one site, gently turn and start immediately ripping the “pancake” apart. You can make the pieces as big or as small as you like. Once it’s golden brown on all sides it is done.

Traditionally, Kaiserschmarrn is accompanied with Zwetschkenröster, a fruit compote made out of plums.

I like them with apple sauce. Maple syrup, whipped cream, or anything you like would taste great – Enjoy!
