    Mix butter, 125 g sugar, vanilla sugar and 1 pinch of salt with the whisks of the mixer. Stir in 2 eggs, egg yolks and milk. Stir in the flour mixture. Fold in the plums. Pour in the dough.

  4. 4

    Bake in a hot oven for about 15 minutes.

    In the meantime, beat the egg whites until stiff, adding 75 g sugar and continuing to beat until the sugar is completely dissolved. Pour the beaten egg whites into a piping bag with a medium star-shaped spout. Remove the muffins from the oven after 15 minutes and immediately spray beaten egg whites as tuffs on top.
