(Austrian) Emperor Nonsense (Österreichischer Kaiserschmarrn)

This recipe is quick to prepare. For 4 persons as desert. Double portion for 3-4 persons as main dish.

Dough:	1 pinch	salt
	4	eggs, separated in egg white and yolk
	40 g	sugar
	160 g	all-purpose flour
	250ml	milk

Further Ingrediants and Toppings:	70g	raisins
	50g	almond slivers, maybe roasted
	2 tbsp	powdered sugar
	50g	butter

cover raisins with a little bit of hot water so that they are soaked with water for about 30 minutes, remove water
carefully separate egg white and yolk in 2 bowls
add the salt to the egg white and beat egg white until stiff
add milk and sugar to the egg yolk and mix to a homogenous dough
carefully fold in the stiff egg white and the raisins under the dough

heat a little bit butter in a non-stick frying pan
add 2 ladles of dough (gives a 'pancake' with about 2cm thickness), roast with medium power until lower side is golden
flip carefully (upper side might be still liquid), add a little bit butter on the sides, 'destroy' the 'pancake' by pulling it in irregular pieces using 2 spatulas
roast until there is no liquid dough visible anymore, turn pieces individually if necessary

Serve after taste with sprinkled powdered sugar and almond slivers.
