I’m back! I tried it, and these ARE exactly like more of that yummy center part I love so much.

*I only used 1/4 cup of butter, and everything worked out just fine.

*I only had 4 plums on hand, so I combined them with some marionberries, and thickened the whole thing with cornstarch. I’ve posted photos and a recipe for my revised sauce.

Thanks for the inspiration! We loved these pancakes!

These look like the “German pancakes” my husband likes. But his are very thin in the middle and explode up the sides to curl around like a wave. I like the center flat part the best, so I’m wondering if these would be like MORE of that yummy center part. I might just make this for dinner tonight! Thanks!

Just wondering, do you really melt a whole 1/2 c butter to cook the pancake in? I’ve got mine in the oven now–it just seemed like so much butter. I’m sure it will be delicious!

Those pancakes look absolutely delicious – I’ll be making them as soon as humanly possible. Coincidentally, I’m off to Berlin in a couple of weeks – any foodie haunts I must try? I’d appreciate any suggestions!

This looks sooo good! Growing up, I would get SO excited every Sunday morning that my dad would announce he was making German pancakes. With lots of powdered sugar on top

Hi Jane.. looks yummy. But the true austrian Kaiserschmarren is more of a torn apart smaller pancake…what makes it special is the beaten egg white (like in your recipe) that makes it really fluffy. And then you fry up the batter individually and pull it apart when it is about half baked.
I love Kaiserschmarren!!! I eat it whenever I go back to Vienna where I used to live for 6 years.
