On Sunday the 14th of February an Austrian girl will come and teach us how to back the famous Austrian dessert, Kaiserschmarrn Pancakes. After the baking we get a chance to taste and enjoy the fresh legendary pancakes. We are going to meet at 16 p.m. in the basement of Hitt Húsið. Everyone is welcome!
What is a Kaiserschmarrn Pancake?
The most legendary of all Austrian desserts: Kaiserschmarrn is something like a torn omelette. Its origin, in fact, is somewhat legendary itself: Torn omelettes ("Schmarrn") already had a longstanding tradition when Austria's last "real" emperor, Franz Joseph I demanded one such thing for dessert. His cook quickly created this simple Schmarrn from few ingredients. Inspired by the milk, he named it "Käser Schmarrn" (Cheesemaker's Schmarrn), which the old emperor misunderstood as "Kaiserschmarrn" (Emperor's Schmarrn).
Since you don't disagree with an emperor, the dish became known as just that. "Schmarrn" is also used in colloquial German like "rubbish" in English, describing inaccurate information or stories. I think that the legend of the name Kaiserschmarrn is just that…nevertheless, it makes a good story.
Lots of luv,
the bridge.
