Austrian Semmelschmarrn Recipe
This simple Semmelschmarrn is a classic Austrian dessert or sweet main dish, perfect for using up stale rolls or white bread. The bread is soaked in a mixture of milk and eggs and then pan-fried in butter until crispy and golden brown.
Zutaten
- 4 pieces day-old rolls or other white bread ~7 oz / 200 g
- 1 cup milk 250 ml, dairy or plant-based
- 2 large eggs
- 2 pkg vanilla sugar (4 teaspoon / 16 g) alternatively ⅔ teaspoon vanilla extract + 4 teaspoon granulated sugar
- pinch of salt
- 1 handful raisins optional
- 1 tablespoon butter alternatively ghee, neutral oil, or margarine
- powdered sugar for serving
Anleitung
- Cut the rolls into roughly 1 cm (½-inch) slices or small cubes.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, vanilla, and salt.
- Add the bread pieces and let them soak for about 20 minutes so they absorb the liquid. Stir in raisins if you like.
- Heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the soaked bread mixture and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and lightly crispy.Tip: Sprinkle a little sugar on top while it cooks — it caramelizes and adds a lovely crunch and sweetness.
- Serve warm, dusted with powdered sugar, alongside applesauce, fruit compote, or your favorite topping.
