PRESENTATION

Warm afternoons at home or cozy family brunch times get a special upgrade from South Tyrolean pancakes—the famous Austrian treat also called Kaiserschmarrn. Rich, fluffy textures and a good, slightly golden appearance make this South Tyrolean pancakes recipe extra inviting on any table. Kids and adults both notice the pretty, informal shape—little shredded pieces tossed together and dusted with powdered sugar—so these Austrian pancakes look almost like happy snowflakes. Good to know: the soft inside paired with just a hint of crispy edge offers a delicious contrast families RAVE about. Since this delicate pancake brings together tradition, taste, and cheerful fun, it’s easy to see why these pancakes have been a long-time favorite at big European gatherings. While lots of folks crave something extra special for weekend mornings or afternoon snacks, this Kaiserschmarrn Austrian pancake brings a bit of Tyrolean adventure right to your kitchen (and keeps everyone reaching for more).

Busy families appreciate the easy-going, moist feel and the way these South Tyrolean pancakes fit so well for different eating styles: try them as a sweet start to the day, a snack, or a family-style dessert after dinner—that’s versatility you don’t get with most pancakes.

How to prepare Crispy South Tyrolean Pancakes

Beat the egg and powdered sugar 1 with a whisk, then add the milk 2, a pinch of salt, vanilla extract, and sifted flour 3.

The batter should be creamy and thick 4. Put about 1 1/4 inches of peanut oil in a low and wide pan and heat it to 356°F 5 (try to keep the oil temperature rather constant); dip the pancake iron 6 with the chosen shape screwed onto the handle (usually there are three different shapes available) and let it heat for a few seconds.

Remove the iron, let it drip, and place it on a sheet of kitchen paper for a second. Dip the iron into the batter 7 but do not let the batter exceed the top edges of the mold. Immediately immerse the mold in the oil so that the batter remains a few millimeters below; wait a few seconds then gently shake the iron so that the batter, puffing up, detaches on its own 8. Proceed like this to form and fry 3-4 pancakes at a time, letting them brown on both sides 9.

Then let them drain on kitchen paper 10. Continue the same way until all the batter is used up (you will make about 45-50 pancakes), keeping in mind that you can also choose to change the shape and make pancakes of various designs. 11 When all the pancakes are ready, dust them with vanilla powdered sugar 12, and... enjoy your meal!
