Apple Schmarren Recipes

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine raisins with rum and let soak 30 minutes then drain.
• In a medium mixing bowl, beat together the milk, eggs, white sugar, vanilla, and salt. Gradually whisk in the flour to make a smooth batter. Stir in the drained raisins.
• In a large skillet melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Pour the batter into the skillet and cook 5 to 6 minutes, or until the pancake has set and the bottom is golden brown. Turn over the pancake and cook 3 minutes, or until this side is also golden brown. Using a spatula or two forks, tear the pancake into bite-size pieces. Drizzle in the melted butter and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar. Turn up the heat to medium high and use a spatula to gently toss the pieces for 5 minutes, or until the sugar has caramelized. Sprinkle with additional confectioners' sugar and serve with plum preserves.

Steps:

• Beat the egg whites in a clean bowl until soft peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form soft mounds rather than a sharp peak. Beat the egg yolks in a separate bowl until smooth; mix in the milk, sugar, salt, flour, and raisins until just moistened. Fold in the egg whites.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Pour the batter into the skillet and cook until golden brown; flip and cook until set on the other side, about 1 minute. Tear the kaiserschmarren into pieces using two forks and continue cooking until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar to garnish and serve with applesauce.

Steps:

• Prepare the cinnamon sugar by mixing 1 tbs. of confectioner's sugar with 1 teaspoons of cinnamon.
• Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar and salt.
• Add the milk and eggs and whisk until smooth.
• Add the apple slices and raisins, and stir to mix well.
• In a 10-inch non stick skillet, heat the butter or margarine until it just begins to sizzle and spread it around the bottom of the pan.
• Pour in the batter all at once and fry.
• Don't stir and turn too often, as you want it to brown nicely on both sides, and break up just a little, so you have large pieces.
• When done, remove to plates and sprinkle each serving with cinnamon sugar.
• Depending on your taste, you may not use all the cinnamon sugar, so just save it for another time.
• This makes 2 small servings, or one large.
