A few summers ago, staying in the mountains outside the spa town of Merano in the German-speaking region of Alto-Adige, we discovered Kaiserschmarrn. This fluffy concoction is similar to a sweet fried souffle made with raisins and dusted with icing sugar and served with lingonberry jam. It is of Austrian origin but is eaten throughout Alto Adige. The dish's name originates with the Austrian emperor, Kaiser Franz Joseph I, who was fond of this dish and the word, "schmarren" meaning a shredded dish as the pancake is shredded at the end of its cooking. It can be served as a quick meal or as a dessert. Children adore it as its light yet luxurious texture. This serves 4 people for dessert or 2 people for a main course.
