Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Place the egg whites in a clean bowl and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, flour, low-fat milk, salt, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Gently fold the raisins into the batter.
Use an electric mixer to beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Carefully fold the whipped egg whites into the batter, ensuring not to deflate the mixture.
Prepare a non-stick frying pan by placing it over medium heat and coating it lightly with cooking spray.
Pour the batter into the pan, spreading it out evenly. Cook on one side for about 4-5 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and the edges are set.
Using a spatula, divide the pancake into quarters and flip each piece to cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
Once cooked through, use two forks to gently tear the pancake into bite-sized pieces while still in the pan.
Sprinkle the powdered sugar over the torn pancake pieces and allow them to caramelize slightly.
Serve the Kaiserschmarren warm with a side of apple sauce for dipping or drizzling.
