[vegan] Kaiserschmarrn- austrian shredded pancake


Grüß Gott!
After my last trip to Vienna in Austria I decided it would be a good idea to make a Austrian dish my next article. Lately I have gotten more interested in a plant based diet, so I thought this recipe could be a vegan one, just like my mille crêpes. I tested this recipe for the first time myself and while I don't hate it, I have some problems with it. Visually it reminds me strongly of the original Kaiserschmarrn, however it seems to be very dense and weak in flavour. Paired with my homemade plum compote it was okay to eat, but the dense and rather chewy texture didn't impress me to say the least. I would have loved a fluffy, shredded pancake- I guess I have some more experimenting to do!

The ingredients
After I soaked the raisins in fruit juice for 30 minutes, I prepared the pancake dough which was way too stiff! I used the right amount like said in the recipe tho. That and the already described outcome of the Kaiserschmarrn makes me think not to share the recipe since I do not recommend it. 

However the plum compote turned out nicely, which I free handed without using a recipe. I added halfs of plums, water and sugar into a pot and boiled it until it was very reduced and soft. Unexpectedly it turned into a bright red color.



I didn't hate the outcome overall but I wasn't pleased with it either. In the end a 2.5 out 5.

I thought it would still be important to share any fails since this is a honest baking learning blog.



Thanks for reading :) Greta♥

Who is Greta

Hello! My name is Greta and I'm only fresh 16 years old. I live in a big blob in central Europe which is called Germany. Even though I'm not aspiring to be a pâtissière, I really enjoy baking all kinds if things. I'm not really into the american style baking made up of sugary cupcakes, colourful cakes and lots of fondant and butter cream. What I enjoy about baking, is the french style: delicate baked goods with lots of detail and grace. I am passionate- but not experienced. That's why this blog exists. I'm here to share my journey, fails, training, ideas, creations and experience. I like to work in a perfectionist way, but also not too complicated. My goal is usually to please other people and myself with my creations, which is not always easy due to lack of experience or knowledge. So, here I am, trying to change it! Lots of love ♥ Greta

~Autumn arrives~ Plant-based Cookies for Halloween

Image
  “Autumn carries more gold in its pocket than all the other seasons.”   ―  Jim Bishop I love autumn. It just has something magical and very, very comforting about it. I made these cookies inspired by the warm colors of autumn and Halloween.  The recipe is a simple sugar cookie recipe from the internet and I won't recommend any special ones because I simply took a random one. Just switch the butter for margarine or vegan butter, and the eggs for a similar amount in apple sauce or what I used, a splash of oat milk. (You can use any egg substitute of choice!) The icing is powdered sugar with a tiny bit of oat milk again.  This is a very simple recipe and honestly this one is not about taste, but about presentation. I still hope you enjoyed ♥

[vegan] Mille crêpes- Pancake cake

Image
Vegan Mille Crêpes I always thought that vegan baking was pretty much impossible aside from weird fruit balls- but oh, I was wrong. After informing myself more about the movement and its reasoning I decided to give it a try. (I won't go into details WHY, but I encourage everyone to look at available data and decide for themselves how they want to contribute to the world.) After finding a fantastic baking paper from PETA , I was more than excited to try some of these methods. I never thought things like whipped cream, meringue and other things were possible on a plant base. So let's see... Instead of looking for a vegan recipe I simply took a regular crepe recipe and used the vegan baking cheats. Apple sauce instead of eggs, plant milk instead of milk, margarine instead of butter.  In my recipe I used 250 g flour, 500 ml oat/soy milk, 50 g melted margarine, a pinch of salt and sugar. After a few failed first attempts I redid some of the batter but it should add up to a...
