Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a small bowl, combine raisins and dark rum. Allow to soak, plumping and infusing with flavor (15 minutes).

02

Step

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and milk until smooth. Let the mixture rest, allowing the flour to fully hydrate and create a tender crumb (10 minutes).

03

Step

Whisk in the egg yolks and salt into the flour mixture until well combined, creating a rich and flavorful base.

04

Step

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

05

Step

In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites until foamy. Gradually add the sugar, continuing to beat until stiff, glossy peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter in two additions, being careful not to deflate the mixture. This will create a light and airy texture.

06

Step

Heat an oven-safe, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat. Melt the butter, swirling to coat the pan evenly. Pour in the batter, then sprinkle the rum-soaked raisins over the top. Allow the batter to gently brown on the bottom, adjusting the heat as needed to prevent burning (4-5 minutes). Cut the pancake into quarters with a large spatula, then flip each quarter and brown the other side (4-5 minutes).

07

Step

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake until the pancake is set and puffed up, achieving a golden-brown hue (8-10 minutes). Remove from the oven and use two forks to tear the pancake into bite-sized pieces.

08

Step

Dust generously with confectioners' sugar and serve immediately with a side of applesauce.

For an extra touch of flavor, try adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter.
If you don't have rum on hand, you can substitute with apple juice or milk.
Be careful not to overbake the Kaiserschmarrn, as it can become dry. The center should still be slightly soft.
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
