Questions

What temperature do I cook Kaiserschmarrn at?

For Kaiserschmarrn, the oven is set to 375 F (about 190 C) in step 1. The longest stretch at that heat is 10 minutes, in step 6.

How do I know when Kaiserschmarrn is done?

Go by the cues in the method rather than the clock. Step 6: cook until pancake is set and puffed.

Why fold instead of stir in Kaiserschmarrn?

Step 4 reads: "Fold egg whites and 1/4 cup raisins into batter." Folding keeps the air you just beat in. Stirring at step 4 would knock it out and the result would come out dense.

Can I make Kaiserschmarrn dairy-free?

Yes. The dairy in Kaiserschmarrn is 1 cup whole milk, 3 tbsp unsalted butter. Swap the milk for unsweetened oat or soy milk; the butter for olive oil where it melts, or a plant-based block butter where it is creamed. The richness shifts slightly, but the method does not change.

Is Kaiserschmarrn vegan?

No, though it is vegetarian. What keeps it from vegan is 1 cup whole milk, 3 tbsp unsalted butter and 4 eggs, separated. For fully plant-based entries, see the vegan dessert collection.

Does Kaiserschmarrn contain eggs?

Yes: 4 eggs, separated. The full allergen list for this entry is gluten, dairy and eggs. Packaged ingredients vary by brand, so check labels if the allergy is serious.

One serving (the recipe makes 2) is about 480 calories, with 14 g protein, 52 g carbohydrate and 24 g fat, plus 2 g fiber and 320 mg sodium. The figures are estimates computed from the ingredient list.
