Ingredients
½ pound peeled, grated carrots
5 large eggs (omit 2 egg whites)
1 cup cream
1 pound home-style white bread, crust removed, torn into small pieces
½ package frozen puff pastry, defrosted (optional)
¼ to ½ cup white wine or sherry
½ cup butter, melted
2 tablespoons sugar
½ teaspoon grated nutmeg
Preparation
- Step 1
Preheat oven to 350. Lightly butter a 6-8 cup baking dish 2-3 inches deep. If you wish to use the puff pastry base, roll it out a little thinner and place it on the bottom and up the edges of your pan. Refrigerate until ready to use. Mix all remaining ingredients thoroughly in a large bowl. Pour the mixture over the pastry or directly into the prepared pan if no pastry is used. Bake for 1 hour or until pudding appears set in the middle and nicely browned.
Dark brown sugar can be substituted for the white sugar and add ½ teaspoon ground ginger or 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger. Try serving a wedge of this for lunch or as a first course for dinner on a plate of green salad lightly tossed with a lemon vinaigrette.
