Kaiserschmarrn

Fluffy shredded pancake with powdered sugar and stewed plums.

Ingredients · for 2 servings

• 4 eggs
• 250 ml milk
• 150 g flour
• Raisins
• Butter, sugar
• Powdered sugar

Instructions

1. Soak the raisins in warm water for 10 min; separate the eggs.
2. Whisk the yolks, milk, flour and a pinch of salt into a smooth batter.
3. Beat the whites with a pinch of sugar until stiff and fold carefully into the batter – it should stay airy.
4. Foam butter in a large pan, pour in the batter and let set over medium heat until the bottom is golden brown; turn once.
5. Tear into bite-sized pieces with two forks, sprinkle sugar over it and let caramelize lightly; add the raisins.
6. Dust with powdered sugar and serve right away – classically with plum compote.
