In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
In a separate large bowl, beat the egg yolks and add the almond milk, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Mix until the ingredients are well incorporated.
Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring continuously until you achieve a smooth batter. Fold in the raisins.
In another bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter, ensuring not to deflate them, to maintain a fluffy texture.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour half of the batter into the skillet, leveling it out with a spatula.
Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and the edges begin to set. Use a spatula to quarter the pancake in the pan, making it easier to flip.
Carefully flip each section and continue cooking for another 3-5 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Using the spatula, tear the cooked pancake into bite-sized pieces. Remove from the pan and set aside, keeping warm.
Repeat with the remaining oil and batter to cook the second batch.
Serve the shredded Kaiserschmarrn pieces on a platter and dust generously with powdered sugar before serving.
