dough again to spread butter, rum and raisins. Pour stiff
egg white on top of dough and mix with ladle so that lumps
of egg white are surrounded by liquid dough.

drop of dough will sizzle in it. Pour a layer of dough into
pan with ladle until about 1 cm (1/2") deep, making sure the
quantity of raisins is right and that they are spread equally.
