Instructions

  1. 1Boil the carrots until tender. Let them cool completely, then grate them. This should take about 15 minutes of prep and 15 minutes of waiting.
  2. 2In a bowl, cream together the butter (or chicken fat) and sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 5 minutes.
  3. 3Gradually add the egg yolks to the creamed mixture, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the grated lemon peel, cinnamon, and nutmeg. This should take about 5 minutes.
  4. 4In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. This should take about 2 minutes.
  5. 5In a separate clean bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the beaten egg whites and the grated carrots into the batter. This should take about 5 minutes.
  6. 6Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a pudding-dish with butter or oil. Pour the mixture into the prepared dish. Bake for 45 minutes. Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon, and return to the oven for a few moments to brown. Serve hot. This should take about 5 minutes of prep and 45 minutes of waiting.
