Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 45 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make Kaiserschmarrn - an Austrian dessert with blueberries? Have all the necessary ingredients ready?

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the orange and lemon thoroughly, dry them and remove the zest from the citrus fruits using a fine grater. Be careful not to touch the white part under the skin as it will taste bitter. Cut the orange and lemon in half and use a juicer or other convenient method to squeeze out the juice.

3. STEP 3

   

   Rinse the raisins thoroughly. Pour the citrus juice into a small clean bowl and soak the raisins in it for half an hour.

4. STEP 4

   

   Start preparing the dough. Wash chicken eggs thoroughly, as apparently clean shells may harbor harmful bacteria. Carefully separate the whites from the yolks. It is necessary that not a single drop of yolks gets into the whites, otherwise they will not beat.

5. STEP 5

   

   Pour sugar and salt into the container with the yolks. Using a whisk, beat the yolks with sugar until smooth. Add milk and stir. Sift the flour into the yolk-milk mixture and mix thoroughly with a whisk until you obtain a homogeneous dough without lumps. Next, add heavy cream and mix everything again.

6. STEP 6

   

   Start whipping the whites first at low speeds, and then at maximum speeds until a strong protein foam forms.

7. STEP 7

   

   Carefully place the whipped whites into the bowl with the dough and, using a spatula, using upward movements, stir to form a thin dough.

8. STEP 8

   

   Take a frying pan and place it over medium heat. Place a piece of butter in the pan, melt it and when it foams, pour the dough into the pan. Place soaked raisins, orange and lemon zest on the surface of the dough. If you are using a small frying pan, you will have to bake the Kaiserschmarrn in two batches.

9. STEP 9

   

   When the omelette is cooked on one side, turn it over and lightly fry on the other.

10. STEP 10

    

    When the omelette has set on the second side, use two forks to separate the Kaiserschmarrn into small pieces and fry a little more. Place the dessert on serving plates, sprinkle generously with powdered sugar, and top with blueberries. Serve hot with aromatic cinnamon and cardamom sugar syrup. Bon appetit!

I made Kaiserschmarrn, an Austrian blueberry dessert, for breakfast. It is easy to prepare and quite simple, which is very convenient for a morning meal. I changed the set of ingredients a little: instead of cream I took 10% sour cream, I didn’t put in raisins so that my daughter wouldn’t pull them out later
