Ingredients:
for soaked raisins:
- 100 g raisins;
- 3 tbsp rum or water.
for the omelet:
- 3 large eggs, yolks and whites separated;
- 3 tbsp butter;
- 1 tsp vanilla paste or extract;
- 2 tbsp sugar;
- a pinch of salt;
- 10 tbsp flour;
- 1 glass of milk.
additionally:
- 2 tbsp butter;
- 2 tbsp sugar.
Preparation:
1. In a small bowl, mix clean raisins and rum (or water).
2. In the bowl of a food processor or a large bowl, whisk the egg whites with a whisk until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
3. In the same now empty food processor bowl or another bowl, whisk the yolks, melted butter, vanilla, sugar, and salt. While continuing to whisk, gradually add the flour and pour in the milk.
4. Add the whipped egg whites to the yolk mixture and gently fold with a spatula, trying to keep as much air in the batter as possible.
5. In a pan with a thick bottom and higher sides, heat 1 tbsp butter, pour in the batter, and cook over medium heat for 5-6 minutes. After 2-3 minutes of cooking, sprinkle the drained raisins.
6. Using a spatula, slightly lift the omelet to check if the bottom is golden brown. If so, cut it into quarters with the spatula and flip each piece. Add a little butter so there is some fat in the pan again. Fry for about 3 more minutes. Then, using the same spatula, cut the omelet quarters into smaller, bite-sized pieces.
7. Add the additional sugar and butter to the pan with the omelet pieces and gently stir-fry for a couple more minutes until the sugar caramelizes.
8. Serve sprinkled with powdered sugar; fresh apple jam or apple puree, stewed plums, cherries or sour cherries, as well as any other favorite berries, go very well with it.
