The following ret ipe mutates a Rich delicious Kaiser Schnurr like the Best ones i have eaten in Resl aunts. Traditional recipes always Ell you to tear the pancakes apart with Iwu Forks before reheating the pieces with the a Jilin Buller sauce. I have found thai this technique makes ragged Edge pieces More appropriate for casual Home style serving than for the emperor s table. Every Kaiser Schmarr i be Calen in restaurants has been us with a knife into neat squares or strips which in my opinion makes a much better looking dish. The Choice is yours of course. My recipe makes four Servings of Kaiser Schmarr which is sufficient for two Mam course or four dessert portions.
