FLUFFY SHREDDED PANCAKE (KAISERSCHMARRN) WITH PLUM SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Whisk the egg whites in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment until foamy. Stream in 3 tablespoons of the sugar and the salt. Whisk on medium high just until the whites form stiff peaks, about 2 minutes.
• Whisk the egg yolks in a large bowl until lightened, about 30 seconds. Add the flour, nutmeg, milk, vanilla and almond extracts. Whisk until smooth. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of the melted butter just to combine. Stir in about a third of the egg whites to loosen the mixture, then use a large rubber spatula to gently fold in the remaining egg whites just until combined.
• Heat a medium (10-inch) nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the melted butter and swirl to coat the skillet. Add the pancake batter and spread out gently with a spatula. Let cook on the stovetop just until the edges begin to set, about 1 minute. Transfer to the oven and bake until the top is puffed and the pancake is set, 12 to 14 minutes.
• When the pancake is done, remove from the oven and place on the stovetop over low heat. Use 2 metal spatulas or large metal spoons to quarter the pancake, then turn all of the pieces and cut into rough (about bite sized) chunks in the skillet. Sprinkle with the remaining 3 tablespoons of sugar and remaining melted butter. Toss well to fully coat. Cook and toss over low heat until the edges of the pieces are caramelized and golden, 3 to 4 minutes.
• To serve, dust with confectioner's sugar and serve with the warm plum sauce.
• While the pancake bakes, make the plum sauce. In a small saucepan, stir together the plums, jam or preserves, lemon juice, water and salt. Bring to a simmer over medium low heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the plums are tender and the mixture is syrupy, about 4 minutes.

EASY CRêPES

Steps:

• Weigh the flour in a large jug or bowl. Crack in the eggs, add half the milk and a pinch of salt. Whisk to a smooth, thick batter. Add the remaining milk and whisk again. Set aside for at least 30 mins.
• Heat a large non-stick crêpe pan or frying pan. Add a drizzle of oil, then wipe out the excess with kitchen paper. When the pan is hot, add enough batter to just cover the surface, swirling it and pouring any excess back into the bowl. The pancake should be as thin as possible. When the edges are peeling away from the sides of the pan, shake it to see if the pancake easily releases and is browning on the underside. If not, cook a little longer. Flip and cook the other side for a minute or two. Serve, or keep warm in a low oven.

GOOD OLD FASHIONED PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Make a well in the center and pour in the milk, egg and melted butter; mix until smooth.
• Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and serve hot.
