Pancakes with stewed plums (Kaiserschmarrn)

Kaiserschmarrn, a thick, fluffy, sugary pancake that is cut into small pieces and usually served with stewed plums, is one of the most famous desserts in Austria. We grow up with it and everybody loves it, especially children. Even tourists know of it! (You can read about Kaiserschmarrn in nearly every guide.) I guess that's the reason why you can find it on the menu of so many restaurants and Viennese coffee houses.
