- Beat the 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. Beat the egg yolks in a separate bowl until smooth; mix in the milk, sugar, salt, flour and raisins until just moistened. Fold in the egg whites.
- Melt the butter in a large frying pan over medium heat. Pour the batter into the pan and cook until golden brown; flip and cook until set on the other side, about 1 minute. Tear the kaiserschmarrn into pieces using two forks and continue cooking until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with icing sugar to garnish and serve with apple sauce.

it is the most delicious dish ever! There's another traditional Austrian dessert called germknodel (spelt something like that) and it's a dumpling filled with jam and has vanilla sauce and poppy seeds - 03 Mar 2013
this dish was not nice, it burned very quickly and tasted quite dry. it definitely needs the apple sauce, i have this dish in austria and they do it with plumb sauce which i much prefer! - 13 Aug 2012
It tastes exactly like it says. My family loved it. I wasn't fond of it though. I wanted to make a German pancake and this recipe came up in the selection. I chose it because the kids were starving and I didn't have 40 minutes to cook the other in the oven. Flipping this over was an accomplishment to behold. Next time I would use smaller pans to make it easier to flip. If you are looking for a light and thin German pancake...this is not it. However, it is a great alternative to the regular pancake. Have fun with it. Add some vanilla or other favorite flavoring. Enjoy! - 25 Oct 2009 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
