Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams Whole wheat flour
- 2 tablespoons Stevia or other sugar substitute
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 3 large Eggs
- 150 milliliters Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 50 grams Raisins (optional)
- 100 grams Fresh berries for serving
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar substitute (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
In a bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, stevia, baking powder, and salt.
Separate the eggs, placing the yolks in one large bowl and the whites in another.
To the bowl with yolks, add the milk and vanilla extract, whisking until smooth. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the mixture until a smooth batter forms.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gently fold the beaten whites into the batter, taking care not to deflate them.
Mix in the lemon zest and optional raisins if using.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Once melted, pour in the batter, spreading it evenly across the skillet.
Cook without stirring until the base is golden and the top appears set, about 5-7 minutes.
Using two forks, gently tear the pancake into bite-sized pieces, add the remaining tablespoon of butter, and continue cooking. Stir occasionally until all pieces are golden brown and cooked through, about 5 minutes more.
Serve the Kaiserschmarren warm, topped with fresh berries and a dusting of powdered sugar substitute if desired.
