I know I spelled it wrong,I got this repice from my German Graddmother she never kept recipes always from memory, I beleive it is made out of something like a pancake dough you chop it up in a big skilletI beleive you put sugar on it,The last time I made it was in the 50's, My 85 year old brother asked me for the recipe as his kids& my kids loved it ror breakfast, I need to taste it again. I hope someone has it,Thanks

German great grandma's special meal
by: Anonymous

I grew up with something very similar. In my family we call it Applesauce and doomies. Not sure where that name came from but I know great grandma was afraid to speak German in the US so she changed some things.
1 cup flour
1 cup milk
2 eggs
Grease pan, pour batter, cut or scramble as it cooks.
Plate up
Pour apple sauce over and eat.
This is still a go to mid day meal in my family, going on 4 generations later.

I heard my mom call it shmun
by: Roy

Someone corrected me on the name. But I don't remember what they wrote. I think you also have the wrong name.

Hi this is Sarah, the website owner,
I think what everyone is looking for is Kaiserschmarrn.
An Austrian dish which can also be found on the website.

Schmudda
by: Sue

I've never known anyone else that makes Schmudda. I spell it that way too. I got the recipe from my great grandmother & grandmother. We use Flour, eggs and milk to make the batter. My grandmother fried it in lard but I use vegetable oil. While it's frying, using 2 knives, we cut cross wise until there are balls of dough. Once it's fried golden brown we top it with cold peaches. I still make it from time to time.

Growing up we used this recipe:
1 cup flour
1/2 tsp salt
3 eggs
Add milk until a little thicker than pancake batter
Pan fry in enough oils to coat bottom of pan
Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar
Serve with peaches and syrup

For my family now I usually make a triple batch.

My Grandma used to make Smudda but I honestly don’t remember what it was. I’m glad I saw these comments. It sounds like funnel cake.

Where did the name Schmutta come from though?
by: Rachel

Weird - I grew up eating this dish; We also called it Schmutta or however you spell it, yet nowhere on the internet could I find why it was called Schmutta over the Kaiserschmarrn which I see everywhere. Looks like it's the same, but where did "Schmutta" come from?

One of my favorites.
by: H K

My mother still makes this for us kids, when we ask her too. She also makes a green salad with a white dressing to eat with it. We call it milk dressing. It's tangy and sweet. My grandmother made smudda and many other so called peasant's food when I was younger. I just know them as good eats.

Ma'a crumb "Shmuda"
by: Scott Decker

4 cups flour
1 TBSP. cream of wheat
1 Teaspoon salt
4 egg's
2 cups milk

Mix as pancake batter
Pour batter into 1/4 cup hot oil, stir and fry until crumbly ( Ma always used her cast iron skillet)

Cook slowly as to not to burn it. While you are stirring it will break up frequently to make the crumb size pieces.

I always like syrup on mine but Pa liked it with sugar

Enjoy!

Bread schmorn
by: Anonymous

This is what my Mom called bread schmorn. You take 2-3 day old bread and cut it into 1-inch cubes and mix milk and eggs together and pour over bread cubes just to moisten. Put butter in a skillet and fry these cubes until browned. We put syrup or brown sugar on them. This came from my grandparents in Germany also.

Smorn
by: Anonymous

My Oma always called this Smorn (shmorn)(sp?). She has Americanized it for us girls as pancake batter (that uses milk and eggs not just water) plus a smidge of vamilla. We topped ours with applesauce and sugar and cinnamon. YUMMY! Its a family favorite!

German side dish my Grandma made
by: Anonymous

My grandmother made something like that all the time, but we usually ate it with gravy. I never had a written recipe,but watched it being made and have made it myself for years.
Its made with 2C flour,2 eggs,2t salt, and enough milk to make a batter thicker than pancake batter.
Heat an iron skillet to medium high with enough oil(back in the day, it was bacon grease!)to cover the bottom of skillet. Pour in the batter and let it brown, then turn it over and begin cutting it with butter knives until the pieces are about the size of marbles(personal preference).Once the pieces are no longer sticky, turn the heat down to low and continue to stir occasionally.
It can be eaten with syrup for breakfast, or with gravy.
