200g plain flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp grated nutmeg
1 tsp ground cinnamon
3 eggs, separated
150ml milk
50g unsalted butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbs honey
1½ tsp salt
80g extra butter extra for frying
2 tbs vegetable oil extra for frying

To serve

160g store-bought or home-made Greek yoghurt
60g maple syrup
1 tsp of cinnamon for dusting
½ cup pecans, roasted and chopped roughly

METHOD

1. Pre-heat Oven on Fan Plus at 220°C.

3. Place sweet potato flesh in a food processor with the flour, baking powder, spices, egg yolks, milk, melted butter, vanilla extract and honey and blitz until smooth.
4. Place the egg whites in a separate bowl and whisk until stiff. Gently fold into the sweet potato mix and set aside.
