    Culinista Annouchka's Notes:

    This is an Austrian family recipe that my grand mother would make for us during the holiday - occasionally we would also have it for dinner too!!

Serves 4

  1. Blend the milk and flour and stir until smooth.

  3. Beat the egg white then just before cooking fold them into the batter and add the raisins last.

  4. In a large cooking pan on medium heat, add the remaining butter and pour the batter so that it is about 1 inch thick. Cook on medium heat until the pancake is a light golden color and slightly puffed up. Then flip it on the other side and continue to cook for another 30 seconds. Tear the pancake up with a fork into little bits while still in the pan and serve with a dusting of confectioners sugar & whipped cream and homemade applesauce.

Yum! I'll have to make this for my mom at Christmas. She lived in Austria for a few years as a teenager and this would make her so happy. Thanks for sharing the recipe. (And beautiful pic!)
