 Kaiser's Schmarren tanslates loosely to "Emperor's Pain". It was a dish we


 would have for supper on those days when we wanted a break from meat or


 poultry dishes. It's name comes from the stories of how Franz Joseph, the


 Emperor of Austria-Hungary, would emit groans of pleasure when he ate this


 pancake like dish. Oooooooo, Ummmmmmmm, Ahhhhhhh! At any rate, it is a very


 good dish for a summer or winters eve. It is always served with a side dish


 of fresh fruit or cooked fruit like plums, cherries or peaches, or a side


 dish of Hungarian Cucumber Salad.

 In a bowl mix the flour, 4 eggs, salt, milk and melted butter. Mix with a


 whisk until smooth. Melt the lard in the pot, get it very hot! Pour in all


 the batter at once and cook it as a large pancake, over high heat. As it


 cooks lift up the edges of the pancake to let the uncooked batter flow


 underneath. When it is completely set, pull apart the pancake with the


 spatula and turn pieces over to cook on the other side. The pancake pieces


 should have some browned edges. This dish only takes a few minutes to make,


 but you must stay with it if you do not want to have charred pieces. Pile


 onto a serving dish, and sprinkle the top with powdered sugar. Serve with


 cooked fruit on the side, or cucumber salad. Serves 4.
