Instead of serving your usual pancake recipe on Shrove Tuesday (12 February), why not feed the kids Kaiserschmarrn  – a delicious (and very filling) Austro-Bavarian pancake whose name means the ‘Emperor’s Mess’.  

It is traditionally eaten either as a main course or a dessert, accompanied by plum or apple sauce.  What’s more, it’s simple to prepare, and you don’t have to worry if your pancakes fall apart… they’re supposed to be a ‘mess’! 

You can find the recipe by clicking here.  Guten appetit!
