Kaiserschmarrn

Serves 4
Prep time: 20 minutes

2 eggs, separated
2 tablespoons sugar, divided
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/3 cup milk
1/2 cup flour
3 tablespoons butter, divided
2 tablespoons raisins

Separate the eggs and whip the whites into stiff peaks. In another bowl whisk the egg yolks, 1 tablespoons sugar, vanilla and milk. Whisk in the flour until smooth. Lightly fold in the whites. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a non-stick pan on medium high heat. Pour the batter into the pan. When it is golden on the bottom, turn over, cut it into sections. Add 2 tablespoons raisins, I used golden, but it doesn't matter. Add the rest of the butter and the other tablespoon of sugar. Mix the broken pieces of crepe with the sugar and butter to caramelize the edges. Serve warm with fruit compote.
