Ingredients
Instructions
- Place the raisins in a bowl, mix with the rum and leave to stand for 15 minutes.
- Separate the eggs and place the yolks in a mixing bowl. Pour in the milk, flavour with some grated lemon rind and vanilla sugar, and add the flour. Mix to form a smooth dough.
- Beat the egg whites together with the sugar and a small pinch of salt until it forms a firm peak, and fold into the dough mix.
- Melt the butter in a large, deep-sided frying pan at a medium heat. Pour in the mixture and sprinkle the soaked raisins over the top once it is starting to firm. Cook the underside until the mixture is no longer runny.
- Turn over the Schmarren using a spatula and continue to cook for another 6 - 8 minutes.
- Tear the Schmarren into small pieces, using two forks or spatulas. Sprinkle the butter shavings over the top, add some crystal sugar, and caramelize under high top heat.
- Remove from the oven and arrange on pre-heated plates. Dust with confectioners sugar and cinnamon.
Serve with baked plums, a berry or fruit compote.
