Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour (150 g)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoon powdered sugar (25 g) plus extra to serve
- 1 teaspoon baking powder (5 g)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (240 ml)
- 2 tablespoon coconut oil (28 g) melted
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon unsalted vegan butter
- 2 tablespoon granulated sugar
- ¼ cup Nature's Charm Salted Caramel Sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the almond milk, melted coconut oil, lemon juice and vanilla extract to a measuring jug and set aside for 10 minutes.
- Add the wet ingredients into the flour mix and whisk until the batter is smooth with no lumps.
- Pour the batter into a well-oiled cast iron skillet and bake until the pancake is a pale golden color. Remove the skillet from the oven.
- Melt vegan butter in a cast iron skillet over low heat. Sprinkle with sugar and let it caramelize. Place the pancake on top and cook for 1-2 minutes or until the bottom is a deep golden, caramelized colour. Then usse two forks to shred the pancake.
- Serve the shredded pancake with a sprinkle of icing sugar and Nature's Charm Salted Caramel Sauce, drizzled on top.
Notes
- Use a well-oiled cast iron skillet to ensure the Kaiserschmarrn doesn't stick to the pan and comes out nice and crispy.
- Whisk the batter until it's smooth to avoid lumps and get a light and fluffy texture.
- Caramelize the Kaiserschmarrn by adding vegan margarine and raw cane sugar to the skillet to give it a sweet and crispy finish.
- Customize the recipe by using spelt flour or gluten-free flour.
- Be sure to let the wet ingredients sit for 10 minutes before adding them to the dry ingredients. This will help activate the baking powder and make the Kaiserschmarrn extra fluffy.
- If you want to make this recipe even sweeter, you can add raisins to the batter or sprinkle some extra powdered sugar on top when serving.
- Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or applesauce for a delicious twist.
