Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables     Carrots

Time 1h35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 large carrots, cubed
1 large turnip, cubed
3 tablespoons softened butter
½ teaspoon salt
¼ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup white sugar
2 eggs
½ cup milk
2 tablespoons white sugar
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 2 quart casserole dish.
  • Place the carrot and turnip cubes into a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry for a minute or two.
  • Return the carrots and turnips to the pot, and mash well with the butter, salt, flour and 1/4 cup of sugar. Whisk together the eggs and milk in a bowl, then stir into the mashed carrot mixture until blended. Scrape into the prepared casserole dish. Stir together 2 tablespoons of sugar with the cinnamon in a small bowl, and sprinkle over the top of the carrot mash.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the carrot mash has slightly firmed and the top has begun to turn golden brown, about 45 minutes.
