1 bag vanilla sugar
1 pinch salt

Further Improvements
Not tried yet. The baking time depends on how thick the batter is in the pan, check with a skewer.
Without an ovenproof pan, cut it in quarters and flip them on the stove instead. It works but it ends up less fluffy.
Directions
Soak the raisins in the rum for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 180°C.
Whisk the yolks, milk, flour, vanilla sugar and salt into a smooth batter.
Whip the whites, adding the 30g sugar gradually, until firm and glossy.
Fold the whites into the batter in 2 goes, keeping it airy.
Melt 30g butter in a ø28cm ovenproof pan over medium heat.
Pour in the batter and scatter the drained raisins on top.
Cook for 3-4 minutes, until the bottom is golden and the edges are set.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, until puffed and golden and a skewer comes out dry.
Put the pan back on the stove (the handle is hot!) and tear it into bite-size pieces with two forks.
Add 20g butter and 20g sugar and toss on medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes, until caramelised.
Dust with icing sugar and serve right away with apple sauce or Zwetschkenröster.
