Grießschmarren - Wheat Crumble
"Schmarren" is an austrian dialect for a sweet dish or flour based pastry made out of flour or ground wheat mixed with milk, butter, and sugar and fried in a pan with fat. But... the word could also mean in informal or colloquial way as " rubbish" to describe something...
or if someone´s making a person mad and that person would answer
"...
das geht dich einen schmarren an! " meaning... "
that's none of your business!".
This sweet dish was so popular in the older days in the countrysides where wives of the farmers prepare this for the whole family... It was so practical because all of the ingredients were available in their farms. They produced their own milk, butter, flour and eggs were available in abundance. It is cheap to make but very delicious in taste. Nowadays, this sweet dish is so popular in restaurants as a dessert.
This is a family favorite too and it´s easy to make...You can also use sweetener instead of sugar.. I used the stevia powder equivalent to the sugar... What I do is, measure the sugar given in this recipe by using a tablespoon, transfer the spooned sugar into another plate and count how many spoons there are...I used the same number of stevia in spoons. Below is the recipe.
