Ingredients
2 medium sweet potatoes (700g)
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 tbsp honey
1½ tsp salt
80g extra butter extra for frying
2 tbsp 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
- Preheat oven on Fan Plus at 220°C.
- Place the sweet potatoes on a baking paper lined baking tray and roast for 1 hour. Remove from the oven. Once cooled, peel off the skin.
- Place sweet potato flesh in a food processor with the flour, baking powder, spices, egg yolks, milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, honey and salt and blitz until smooth.
- Place the egg whites in a separate bowl and whisk until stiff. Gently fold into the sweet potato mix and set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and 20g butter in the tepan yaki plan or large frying pan on medium high heat, induction setting 6-7. When the butter starts to foam, spoon tablespoon amounts into the plate, cooking for 2 minutes on each side.
- Once the fritters are golden brown, transfer to a baking paper-lined baking tray to rest. Wipe the plate between batches with paper towel. Add more oil and butter and continue cooking with remaining mixture.
To serve
- Place 2 fritters in the middle of each plate and spoon the yoghurt on top. Drizzle with maple syrup, dust with cinnamon and sprinkle pecans over the top.
