Scratched

Ingredients for 4 servings:

• 3 eggs
• 250 g flour
• 1 pinch of salt
• 300 ml milk, approximately
• Clarified butter for frying

Instructions

Working time approx. 35 minutes; Total time approx. 35 minutes

Separate the eggs. Mix the flour with the egg yolks and salt and add enough milk to form a thick batter. Beat the egg whites until stiff and carefully fold into the batter. Heat clarified butter in a pan and pour in about 1 cm of batter. Cover the batter and let it set, then turn it over and cook on the other side. Tear it into bite-sized pieces using two forks and place it in a covered ovenproof dish. Keep warm in a preheated oven at 120°C; this will cook the Kratzete through. Use the remaining batter in the same way, finishing cooking the last layer in the pan. Tip: Kratzete is eaten in Baden as a hearty side dish with asparagus. The batter is richer in vitamins with chopped herbs or finely grated vegetables.
