🍽️ Császármorzsa (Kaiserschmarrn) 🇭🇺

---

👨‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Prepare the Batter:

• In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks with sugar until light.
• Stir in the milk, flour, vanilla, and lemon zest until smooth.
• In another bowl, beat egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form.
• Gently fold the egg whites into the batter — this makes it airy and fluffy.

2. Cook:

• Heat butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
• Pour the batter into the skillet and cook until the bottom is golden and the top is mostly set (like a thick pancake).
• Sprinkle with raisins if using.
• Flip the whole pancake (or cut and flip in sections), then cook until both sides are golden.
• Use spatulas or forks to tear the pancake into bite-sized pieces.
• Continue cooking for a few more minutes, letting the pieces brown slightly on the edges.

3. Serve:

• Dust generously with powdered sugar.
• Serve warm with fruit preserves, applesauce, or a drizzle of honey.

📝 Tip:

For a slightly crispier edge, you can sprinkle some sugar directly into the pan while cooking the torn pieces — it caramelizes beautifully!
