Hokkaido Chiffon Cupcakes 
Makes about 10 cupcakes

Method: 

1) Whisk egg yolk with salt. Add in oil and milk and mix well. 
2)  Sift flour and baking powder into the egg yolk mixture. 
3) Beat egg whites with cream of tartar until foamy and then slowly add in the sugar and beat till soft peaks 
4) Fold in half of the egg whites into the cake batter and mix until incorporated using a whisk or spatula. Then add in the other half and mix them evenly (do not overmix - you want to maintain the volume of the cake batter).
