Method

Ingredients

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. To make the flapjacks, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. In a separate bowl, combine the milk, butter and 1 egg yolk.

2. Beat the egg whites and cream of tartar in a separate bowl with an electric mixer at a medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes.

3. Stir the milk mixture into the flour mixture until just combined (it’s okay if there are a few lumps).

4. Stir a third of the egg whites into the flour-and-milk mixture. Gently fold in the remaining egg whites until just combined, taking care not to overmix.

5. Coat a ring mould in the size of your choice with cooking spray – we used 7 cm ring moulds. Fry the flapjacks in the moulds in a nonstick pan until golden on both sides. Finish off in the oven for 10 minutes.

6. To make the cashew cream, blend all the ingredients until a smooth paste is formed. Serve on the hot flapjacks with the maple syrup.
