Kaiserschmarrn
Kaiserschmarrn
A broken apart fluffy pancake from Austria served with Marillenröster - something between a Compost and Marmalade made from apricots
Compost or compote?
Haha they definitely meant compote but here's an interesting fact. Compote comes from French compote which I thought had an accent on the o but apparently doesn't. When French has an accent over a vowel it typically indicates that an s has been dropped from old French, which would have made sense because the og French word was actually composte.
As a French speaker I had never heard of this, but I looked it up and it's indeed the case specifically for circumflex accents (ê, ô, â, î) and not the others.
A neat resource (in French naturally) that I found on this:
Zwetschgenröster oder Apfelmus, du Züpfeklatscha!
I prefer Kaiserschmarrn with applesauce
Applesauce is a gift of the gods for pancakes, Kaiserschmarrn, Crepes, lots of things, really. The yanks love drowning their stuff in tree sap, but applesauce is superior, that's just a fact.
"Broken apart fluffy pancake" certainly describes Kaiser Wilhelm II in the post-WWI era. Excellent naming, Austria.
It's not the same dough as pancake dough though
it definitely is not, but that's the best way to describe it to someone that has never heard of it
True
Looks like a side of curry there 😅 but real talk, Kaiserschmarrn is delicious!
Love it!
It looks awesome. I would try this without hesitation!
Kind of looks like Greek bougatsa
Where are the raisins??? Σ(°ロ°)
