Scrambled Pancakes (Kaiserschmarrn)
This is not just another pancake recipe, it is a pancake with a scramble. The Kitchen Bucket List fired up the griddle and we had to make it to believe it. Scrambled pancakes are fluffy and sweet. What a fun twist to a classic breakfast staple.
Equipment
- Griddle
- 2 Large spatulas
- Medium serving dish or bowl
Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup raw sugar
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs
- ¼ cup butter, melted
- 2 cups regular 2% milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (Optional)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl add the flour, raw sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, eggs, melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract (optional). Mix until the ingredients are combined. NOTE: I used an 8-cup large glass measuring cup with a handle. This makes it easier to pour the batter.
- Set the pancake batter aside to rest while the griddle is preheating.
- Preheat the griddle and adjust the temperature to be between 350 - 400 degrees F. Closer to 400 degrees F. is better so the temperature does not drop below 350 degrees F. once the batter is poured on the griddle.
- Bring the batter out and pour to make a large oblong pancake.
- Wait for the batter to start to bubble like a normal pancake. Here comes the fun part. Flip the pancake back on itself from both sides with the large spatulas. Let the batter set again. Continue to flip, start to scramble, and chop the pieces.
- Pay attention to larger pieces and break them up to have the batter cook. Additionally, you will need to scrap the half-cooked batter off the spatulas in the beginning.
- Once you have the sized pieces you want, let them brown up a bit and flip them every minute or two. It takes between 10 - 12 minutes to get a nice even cook on the scrambled pancakes (Kaiserschmarrn) from the pour to removing.
- Time to remove the scrambled pancakes, use the spatulas to scoop the pieces off the griddle and place them in a serving dish, making beep beep noises helps.
- This was such a hoot to make on the griddle. I felt like a kid cooking. Bring the scrambled pancakes (Kaiserschmarrn) in and serve with your favorite toppings.
- Enjoy!!!
Notes
- Scrambled Pancakes (Kaiserschmarrn) batter can rest for up to 30 minutes on the counter.
