Description

Kaiserschmarren, a German dessert that tastes like a cross between a pancake and a waffle, is dusted with powdered sugar and served with applesauce.

Ingredients

4 eggs, separated
1 cup all-purpose flour
2/3 cup raisins
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup white sugar
1 pinch salt
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
2 cups applesauce

Directions

1 Beat egg whites in a clean bowl until soft peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up; the egg whites will form soft mounds rather than a sharp peak.
2 Beat egg yolks in a separate bowl until smooth. Mix in flour, raisins, milk, sugar, and salt until just moistened. Fold in egg whites.
3 Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Pour batter into the skillet and cook until golden brown; flip and cook until set on the other side, about 1 minute. Tear the kaiserschmarren into pieces using two forks and continue cooking until golden brown and cooked through, about 2 minutes.
4 Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar and serve with applesauce.
