Ingredients

• 150 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 250 milliliters Milk
• 4 Large eggs, separated
• 40 grams Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 pinch Salt
• 30 grams Butter
• None Powdered sugar, for dusting
• None Fruit compote or jam, for serving

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour and milk until smooth. Add the egg yolks, vanilla extract, and salt, and whisk until well combined.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until frothy. Gradually add the sugar and continue to beat until soft peaks form.

Step 3

Gently fold the egg whites into the flour and milk mixture, taking care not to deflate the egg whites.

Step 4

Heat a large non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add half of the butter.

Step 5

Once the butter has melted and is slightly bubbling, pour half of the batter into the pan. Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown and the top is set.

Step 6

Using a spatula, gently flip the pancake over and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Break the pancake into bite-sized pieces using two forks or the spatula.

Step 7

Cook the pieces for an additional minute, tossing them gently to ensure they are evenly cooked.

Step 8

Remove the shredded pancake pieces from the pan and repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter if necessary.

Step 9

Transfer the cooked Kaiserschmarren to serving plates. Dust generously with powdered sugar and serve immediately with fruit compote or jam on the side.
