Viennese cuisine: Kaiserschmarrn in perfection

It's actually too big a dessert, but Kaiserschmarrn always manages to satisfy even those who otherwise prefer savory or hearty dishes with a sweet finish. And it's probably the only dessert that's worth a little trip for its fans, at least as a secret longing for a hike in the mountains. The fascination of Kaiserschmarrn also lies in the fact that it never defines itself: a main course that prefers to play the role of dessert. And of an opulence that seems strangely light. Sometimes hearty and solid, sometimes fluffy to airy, sometimes crispy, Kaiserschmarrn tastes as good warm as it does cold, and as sweet as it does sour. In short: that's what jelly should be.
