Kaiserschmarrn with plum compote

Ingredients for 4 servings:

• 6 eggs
• 500 ml milk
• 4 tbsp sugar
• 150 g flour
• 150 g cornstarch
• some butter, for frying
• Powdered sugar, for dusting
• 500 g plums
• 70 g cane sugar
• 1 stalk(s) cinnamon

Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Rest time approx. 30 minutes; Total time approx. 50 minutes

The dough is also great for baking fruit!

Separate the eggs. Whisk the egg yolks with the milk and sugar, mix the flour with the cornstarch, sprinkle in the flour, and knead into a smooth batter. Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form and carefully fold into the batter with a large spoon. Let the batter rest for about 20 minutes. Melt the butter in a large frying pan, pour the batter thickly into the pan, and bake until golden brown on the underside. Then turn the pancake over and cut it into pieces crosswise, and bake until golden brown. Sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired. A plum compote goes perfectly with this: Wash the plums, halve them, remove the stones, and chop the halves into small pieces. Simmer for 15 minutes with the cane sugar, cinnamon, and a little water. Remove the cinnamon stick. Of course, you can also enjoy peach halves with the Kaiserschmarrn, as well as apple compote or other fruit compote. Alternatively, push banana pieces, apple rings, pear slices, etc., into the batter and fry in a non-stick pan until golden brown.
