Method
Preheat the air fryer to 160°C and grease a 16cm round tin.
Beat the butter and both sugars until creamy, then beat in the egg and vanilla.
Fold in the flour, malted milk powder and bicarbonate of soda.
Stir through the chocolate chunks and most of the crushed malt balls.
Press the dough evenly into the tin without compacting it too hard.
Scatter over the remaining malt pieces.
Air fry at 160°C for 14-17 minutes until the edge is golden and the middle is still soft.
Rest for 10 minutes before loading it with ice cream or slicing.
