Whether or not this Austrian, sweet delicacy really got its name from Emperor Franz Joseph – we LOVE this kind of pancakes! This is one of the most popular desserts in Austria, and it can be enjoyed from time to time as the main course. Rightly, because this pancake recipe is sooo good and you will be rewarded with a fluffy, fragrant and heavenly tasting dish. Traditionally, it is served with poached plums, but I decided to serve it with blueberry sauce since I had fresh blueberries in my fridge.
