KAISERSCHMARREN -- EMPEROR'S OMELET
3
Tbsp
dried currants
1/4
cup
golden raisins
3
large
eggs, separated, at room temperature
2
tablespoons granulated sugar
1 1/2
cups
1/2 and 1/2 or milk
1/4
teaspoon vanilla
3/4
cup
cake flour
1/4
cup
unsalted butter
1
tablespoon confectioners' sugar
Raspberry syrup
In a small bowl plump
the currants and raisins in 1/4 cup very hot wine for 15 minutes and drain
them. In a blender blend the egg yolks, the granulated sugar, the salt,
the milk, the vanilla, and the flour sifted, until the mixture is smooth.
ln a large bowl beat the egg whites until they hold soft peaks and fold
in the milk mixture with the currants and raisins. Heat an omelet pan over
moderately high heat and in it melt 1 tablespoon of the butter. Pour half
the batter into the middle of the pan, rotating the pan to coat the bottom
evenly. Cook the omelet over moderate heat for 2 to 3 minutes, or until
it is golden on the bottom, and with a fork tear it into walnut size pieces.
Finish cooking
the omlette. Add
more butter to the pan, and repeat the process until all the eggs have
been used. Transfer the Kaiserschmarrn to a heated platter and sprinkle
it with the confectioners' sugar. Serve with raspberry syrup on the side.
Serves 3 or 4.
