Kaiserschmarrn
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kaiserschmarrn (Austrian German "Kaiser", meaning "Emperor's", and Schmarrn, "Mishmash") is one of the best known Austrian desserts, popular in most of the former Austro-Hungarian lands, as well as in Bavaria. It is a caramelized pancake made with more than the usual number of eggs, and often including raisins, chopped almonds, apple jam or small pieces of apple. The pancake is split into pieces while frying, sprinkled with powdered sugar, and is served hot with an apple or plum sauce. Curiously, in addition to dessert, it can also be eaten for breakfast and lunch at mountainside restaurants and taverns.
