Ingredients:
- ½ tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Water
- 170 gms Butter
- 140 gms Plain Flour
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- ¼ tsp grated Nutmeg
- 1 tsp ground Cinnamon
- 225 gms Carrots, grated
- ½ tsp Bicarbonate of Soda
- 100 gms Dark Brown sugar
Method:
- Preheat a 350 degrees F/180 degrees C/Gas 4 oven. Grease a 12 cup bun tray or use paper cases.
- With an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and water.
- Stir in the carrots.
- Sift over the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Stir to blend.
- Spoon the mixture into the prepared bun tray, filling the cups almost to the top. Bake until the tops spring back when touched lightly, about 35 minutes.
- Let stand 10 minutes before transferring to a rack.
Tip: When whipping heavy cream always whip in a stainless steel bowl. Aluminum bowls will cause the cream to turn grayish in color and the cream will taste metallic.
