Wash plums, dab dry and stone them. Boil up plums, 1/4 l water, 50 g sugar and cinnamon stick and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Stir sauce powder and a little water until smooth. Stir the schnaps into the plums and simmer for about 1 minute more
Beat the egg whites until stiff, then pour in 100 g of sugar. Finally, beat in lemon juice.
Remove cinnamon. Pour plums into 4 small or 1 large casserole dish. Spread meringue on top and sprinkle with almonds. Bake in the preheated oven (electric range: 225 °C/circulating air: 200 °C/gas: level 4) for 5-8 minutes until golden brown. Decorate
So that meringue succeeds: cleanly separate fresh cold eggs. Even traces of egg yolk prevent the beaten egg white from becoming firm. Bowl & whisk must be free of fat. The finer the sugar, the better it dissolves. Egg whites are stiff if a knife cut remains visible
