Kaiserschmarrn (German pronunciation: [ˈkaɪ̯zɐˌʃmaʁn] ) or Kaiserschmarren (German: [ˈkaɪ̯zɐˌʃmaʁən] )[1] ('Emperor's Mess'[2]) is a lightly sweetened pancake that takes its name from the Austrian emperor (Kaiser) Franz Joseph I, who was fond of this fluffy shredded pancake. It is served as a dessert or as a light lunch alongside apple sauce and contains raisins or dried cranberries.
Kaiserschmarrn is a popular meal or dessert in Austria, Bavaria, and many parts of the former Austro-Hungarian empire, e.g. Hungary, Slovenia, Czech Republic and northern Croatia, which usually use the name as a loan word or translations of it. In Slovenia, it is called cesarski praženec or šmorn. Its Hungarian name is császármorzsa [3][4] or smarni;[4] its Czech name is (Císařský) trhanec or kajzršmorn. In Slovak it is called Cisársky trhanec.
