Ingredients

• 150 grams All-purpose flour
• 250 milliliters Almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
• 60 milliliters Aquafaba
• 15 grams Chickpea flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 50 grams Raisins
• 2 tablespoons Vegan butter
• 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, chickpea flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Whisk together until well blended.

Step 2

Gradually add the almond milk to the dry ingredients, mixing well to avoid any lumps and create a smooth batter.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whip the aquafaba until it becomes frothy and light. Gently fold this into the batter along with vanilla extract and lemon zest.

Step 4

Melt 1 tablespoon of vegan butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the skillet, allowing it to spread evenly. Sprinkle the raisins over the top.

Step 6

Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the edges begin to set and golden brown spots appear underneath.

Step 7

Using a spatula, cut the pancake into four sections for easier flipping. Flip each section and cook for an additional 5 minutes on the other side.

Step 8

Once both sides are cooked, break the pancake into bite-sized pieces using the spatula.

Step 9

Add the remaining tablespoon of vegan butter to the skillet and lightly caramelize the pieces for 3 minutes, stirring gently.

Step 10

Transfer the Kaiserschmarrn to serving plates and dust with powdered sugar before serving.
