Follow The Directions

01

Step

Soak the Raisins: In a small bowl, combine raisins and rum. Allow to soak for at least 30 minutes, or up to a few hours, stirring occasionally. Drain well before using. (30 minutes)

02

Step

Prepare the Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined. Gradually whisk in flour until you have a smooth batter, free of lumps. Stir in the drained, rum-soaked raisins. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Cook the Pancake: Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large, non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the butter is melted and the skillet is hot, pour the batter into the skillet, spreading it evenly. Cook for 5-6 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and the pancake has set around the edges. (6 minutes)

04

Step

Flip and Brown: Carefully flip the pancake using a large spatula. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the second side is golden brown and the pancake is cooked through. (4 minutes)

05

Step

Shred and Caramelize: Using two forks or a spatula, tear the pancake into bite-sized pieces directly in the skillet. Drizzle the melted butter over the pancake pieces, then sprinkle with 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar. Increase the heat to medium-high and gently toss the pancake pieces, allowing the sugar to caramelize and create a delicious, slightly crisp coating. This should take about 3-5 minutes. (5 minutes)

06

Step

Serve: Transfer the caramelized Kaiserschmarrn to plates. Dust generously with additional confectioners' sugar and serve immediately with a side of plum preserves.

For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of regular butter for cooking the pancake.
If you don't have rum, you can substitute it with apple juice or orange juice for soaking the raisins.
Serve immediately for the best texture. Kaiserschmarrn is best enjoyed warm and fresh.
Feel free to experiment with other toppings such as apple sauce, fresh berries, or whipped cream.
