What's next on your morning plate? A TikTok cooking trend would make it "scrambled pancakes" –pancakes cooked in batter in a skillet, and then scrambled until different-sized pieces are formed, resulting in mini pancakes with crispy edges and a soft interior.
The concept has roots in the classic Austrian dish Kaiserschmarrn, meaning "imperial mess," typically served with powdered sugar and rum-soaked raisins, enjoyed by Emperor Franz Joseph I. However, the modern trend does not involve the traditional Kaiserschmarrn ingredients.
While some appreciate scrambled pancakes as a delicacy in various countries, others believe the trend is a joke or have concerns about ensuring all small pieces are thoroughly cooked.
Adding protein sources like eggs, chorizo, and cheddar cheese can make the meal more nutritious.
The trend started as a joke by TikToker "Archived Chef," who showcased making scrambled pancakes in various shapes, including a brown sugar and cinnamon version.
