Ingredients

• 125 grams all-purpose flour
• 20 grams cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 4 large eggs, separated
• 250 milliliters unsweetened almond milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 lemon, zested
• 50 grams raisins
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar, for dusting

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.

Step 2

In a separate large bowl, beat the egg yolks and add the almond milk, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Mix until the ingredients are well incorporated.

Step 3

Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring continuously until you achieve a smooth batter. Fold in the raisins.

Step 4

In another bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter, ensuring not to deflate them, to maintain a fluffy texture.

Step 5

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour half of the batter into the skillet, leveling it out with a spatula.

Step 6

Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and the edges begin to set. Use a spatula to quarter the pancake in the pan, making it easier to flip.

Step 7

Carefully flip each section and continue cooking for another 3-5 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 8

Using the spatula, tear the cooked pancake into bite-sized pieces. Remove from the pan and set aside, keeping warm.

Step 9

Repeat with the remaining oil and batter to cook the second batch.

Step 10

Serve the shredded Kaiserschmarrn pieces on a platter and dust generously with powdered sugar before serving.
