Directions

Step 1

In a bowl, whisk together 150 ml heavy cream, egg yolks, and cinnamon. Stir in the grated sweetpotatoes and fold in the flour.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form, gradually adding the cane sugar.

Step 3

Fold half of the egg whites into the sweetpotato batter, then gently fold in the rest to keep it airy.

Step 4

Heat oil in a non-stick oven-safe pan over low heat. Pour in the batter and cook for 1–2 minutes until thickened underneath.

 

Step 5

Flip the pancake and use a fork to shred it into bite-size pieces. Transfer the pan to an oven preheated to 175°C (150°C convection) and bake for 8–10 minutes.

Step 6

Whip the remaining 100 ml heavy cream until soft peaks form.

Step 7

Arrange the shredded pancake pieces on a plate. Dust with powdered sugar, garnish with blueberries and whipped cream, and serve immediately.
