How to Make Kaiserschmarren

In this video, Chef John will show you how to make Kaiserschmarren, a delicious Austrian dessert also known as torn pancakes. To make this dish, you'll need just a few simple ingredients like eggs, sugar, salt, vanilla extract, all-purpose flour, and milk. He guides you through the process of separating the eggs, whisking together the yolk mixture, and whipping the egg whites into soft peaks. Combine the two mixtures and cook the batter in a pan until it's browned and fluffy. After cutting the pancakes into pieces and caramelizing the edges with butter and sugar, you'll be ready to dust them with powdered sugar and serve them hot. Chef John recommends enjoying Kaiserschmarren with plum preserves or jam for a truly authentic taste. So, get ready to enjoy this soft, light, and fluffy dessert in the comfort of your own kitchen!
