Gorgeous Shredded Pancake

Oven-Baked Kaiserschmarrn

Oven-Baked Kaiserschmarrn, or Shredded Pancake, is a simple Austrian dessert made in an oven. It's fluffy, delicious, and caramelized outside. So good.

Oven-Baked Kaiserschmarrn
Kaiserschmarrn, also known as Shredded Pancake, is a popular Austrian dessert. Traditionally, it's made on the stove, just like my Austrian grandma used to prepare it. However, a few years ago, we discovered a recipe from Ursula, the creator of the Little Vienna blog. She made it in the oven, and we were amazed by how delicious it turned out. Her recipe served as the inspiration for this version. It's incredibly easy to make; simply prepare the batter, pour it into a hot skillet, and then bake it in the oven. This hands-off recipe is perfect for any day of the year, and the kids absolutely love it. The pancake turns out fluffy and caramelized, especially if you cut it into larger pieces.

Homemade Oven-Baked Kaiserschmarrn

Many people know this delicious Austrian dessert by different names. In Austria, it's called Kaiserschmarrn; in Slovenia, it's known as Smorn; and in English, it's best described as a shredded pancake. There are several reasons why we love this recipe:

  • It's a simple recipe loved by both kids and adults.
  • Most of the work is done by your oven, making it a hands-off recipe.
  • It has a light, fluffy, and delicious interior with a golden brown exterior.
  • It can be served with fruit compote or jams.

METHOD

  • kaiserschmarrn mixture

    Separate the egg whites from the egg yolks. Add the egg whites to a small bowl. Add the sugar and a pinch of salt to the egg whites in a bowl. Using an electric mixer, whip the egg whites until almost stiff peaks form. Set aside. Add flour, vanilla, egg yolks, and half of the milk to a separate bowl. Using a whisk, mix to combine, then add the rest of the milk and mix until smooth. Using a spatula, gently fold the egg whites into the egg yolks to get a soft, fluffy mixture. Set a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat it to 200 °C / 390 °F.

  • Oven-Baked Kaiserschmarrn

    Place an oven-safe (28 cm / 11-inch) skillet over medium heat. Add the butter. When it melts, pour in the Kaiserschmarrn mixture. Cook for a minute, then transfer to the preheated oven. Bake for 10 minutes at 200 °C / 390 °F. Then, using a kitchen glove, carefully transfer to the stove. Cut into larger chunks and push to the side of the pan. Add the butter and sugar in the middle. When they both melt, toss the Kaiserschmarrn in the caramel to caramelize and become golden brown. Serve with fruit compote.
