I love schtertz. Had it all growing up. My grandmother is Austrian and made it all the time and the recipe has been passed down. Although we don't eat it with Salad, we eat it with sugar and canned stanley prune plums and juice drizzled over it. The recipe is super easy:
1 egg
1 cup flower
1 tsp salt
1 cup milk
Mix it all up and pour it in a 10 inch circular pan like a thick pancake. Medium high heat. Oh, but before you do that, pour in quite a bit of oil. Enough that it'll fry in it. My grandma adds a LOT of oil, I tone it down to maybe 4 tablespoons. Then pour in the mixed batter. Let it cook for a min or so, then I flip and cook for another min or so (my grandma just starts scrambling it without flipping). Then I cut it in strips using two knifes (like scissors) cutting it into (roughly) 1/2 inch by 1/2 inch cubes....it does tend to end up more scrambled.
Serve it hot, sprinkle sugar over the top, then drizzle plum juice and drop a couple plums on it too. Soooo good!!
