preparation
Prepare the grill for direct grilling and heat it 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, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes.
Mix the cornstarch with the water and stir it in, then bring to a boil again briefly. Once the plum compote has thickened, season to taste.
➌ For the Kaiserschmarrn, place a cast-iron skillet directly on the grill. Whisk the egg yolks with the sugar or vanilla sugar until frothy, add the milk, and mix in the flour (which has been combined with the baking powder) to form a smooth batter. Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form and fold them into the batter. Add the butter to the cast-iron skillet and let it melt – be careful, this can happen very quickly!
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 them over, repeating this process two or three more times until you have a nice, fluffy Kaiserschmarrn. To serve, scatter the rum-soaked raisins over the BBQ Kaiserschmarrn, place the plum compote in the center, and sprinkle everything generously with powdered sugar.
