Carrot Souffle

By CorbettCook

If you're looking for a show-stopping dish to serve at Easter or your next dinner party, look no further than this carrot soufflé.

Ingredients

• 1 3/4 pounds carrots, peeled & chopped
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 3 eggs, well-beaten
• 3/4 cup margarine, room temperature
• Powdered sugar

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Steam or boil carrots. Using a pressure cooker will save time, and retain more flavor in the carrots. Drain well and transfer to a large mixing bowl.

While carrots are still warm, add sugar, baking powder, and vanilla.

Beat with mixer until smooth. A mixer works better than a food processor to get more air in the mixture.

Add flour and mix well; add beaten eggs and mix well. Add margarine and beat well.

Pour mixture into a lightly greased 2-quart baking dish. Bake at 350°F for 1 hour or until the top is light golden brown.

Sprinkle lightly over the top with powdered sugar before serving.

You can prepare this ahead of time and freeze in a baking dish. Thaw out thoroughly and bake when ready.

Tip: Place the filled baking dish in a pan with 1 to 2 inches of water (water bath) to bake. It will prevent sticking to sides of baking dish. If you place 1 teaspoon of cream of tartar in the water, it will prevent the pan, if it¹s aluminum, from darkening or staining.
