To make this dish, one has to "scramble" pancake batter as one does with eggs. In other words, rather than carefully spread the batter in a round shape or in a specific mould, one has to simply pour it and break it up as it cooks using a spatula. This rather unusual method has received mixed reactions online. While some have found it interesting and/or convenient, others are not in support of the technique. Take a look at one of the viral recipes below, which has taken multiple social media platforms by storm. Shared by user @archivedchef, it has received more than 26 million views on Instagram so far.

As several users also pointed out in the comments, the dish is quite similar to Kaiserschmarrn, a popular dessert in Austria, Bavaria and neighbouring regions. This shredded pancake delicacy is typically served with applesauce and topped with raisins and berries. Literally named "Emperor's Mess," it is said that the Austrian Emperor Franz Joseph I used to love this treat.
