Instructions

Separate the egg, beat the egg white with a pinch of salt until stiff, and set aside briefly. Mix the egg yolk with the quark, pumpkin puree, milk, and cinnamon.

Stir the dry ingredients into the egg yolk mixture, then carefully fold in the beaten egg whites.

Spread oil in a pan, pour in the Kaiserschmarrn batter, cover, and cook over medium heat for about 3-5 minutes, until the batter has set and the underside is golden brown. Carefully flip the pancake and cook on the other side for another two to three minutes.

Reduce the heat and tear the Kaiserschmarrn into bite-sized pieces using two wooden spoons or similar utensils. Add sugar and let it caramelize for about a minute. Then serve with your choice of side dishes.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Pumpkin Puree Pro Tip 🎃
For the most authentic flavor, use homemade roasted pumpkin puree instead of canned, which provides a richer, more concentrated pumpkin taste.
Quark Quality Control 🥛
Ensure your low-fat quark is at room temperature before mixing to achieve a smoother, more homogeneous batter with better texture.
Whisking Wisdom 🥣
Whisk the eggs and sugar until they become light and fluffy, creating air pockets that will make your Kaiserschmarrn exceptionally light and tender.
Cinnamon Calibration 🌀
Toast your ground cinnamon briefly in a dry pan before adding to the batter to intensify its aromatic compounds and deepen the flavor profile.
Ripping Technique 🔪
Use two spatulas to deliberately tear and break the Kaiserschmarrn into irregular pieces during cooking, ensuring crispy edges and a traditional rustic appearance.
