preparation
➊ Prepare the grill for direct grilling and heat to 200°C. For the plum compote, heat a saucepan, add the sugar, and let it caramelize. Add all the remaining ingredients (except the cornstarch and water) and simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
➋ Mix the cornstarch with the water and stir in, then bring back to a boil briefly. Once the plum compote has thickened, season to taste.
➌ For the Kaiserschmarrn, place a cast iron pan directly over the grill. Whisk the egg yolks with the sugar or vanilla sugar until frothy. Add the milk and mix with the flour and baking powder until a smooth batter forms. Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form and fold into the batter. Add the butter to the cast iron pan and melt it – be careful, it can melt very quickly!
➍ Then pour the batter into the pan and grill for about 15 minutes, until it starts to firm up a little on top and browns on the bottom. Tear it into pieces with two spoons and turn it over. Repeat this process two or three more times until you have a beautifully fluffy Kaiserschmarrn. To serve, sprinkle the rum-infused raisins over the BBQ Kaiserschmarrn, place the plum compote in the center, and sprinkle everything with plenty of powdered sugar.
