Method

5 soļi

Scrub and scrape the carrots and grate them finely.
Whisk the eggs, cream, flour and salt to a smooth batter, about as thick as pancake batter, and stir in the carrots.
Heat half the butter in a 24–26 cm frying pan over medium-low heat. Pour in half the mixture and spread it about 1 cm thick. Cook for 5–6 minutes, until the underside is golden and the top almost set.
Slide it onto a plate, turn it over back into the pan with a little more butter and cook for 4–5 minutes more. Make a second pancake with the rest.
Sprinkle with sugar and cut into wedges.

Notes

What the book says vs. what we added

the book washes and scrapes carrots, grates them finely, beats them with eggs, sweet cream and a little flour "as thick as for the egg pancake" (08-018) and fries them the same way in a pan with butter. The salt, the amounts and the times are ours. The sugar comes from the egg pancake, which the book sprinkles with sugar, and from the liver version below.

The calf's liver version

the book adds in plain type that calf's liver can be grated the same way, fried and sprinkled with sugar in the dish. Chill 300 g very fresh calf's liver in the freezer for 30–40 minutes until firm, then grate it or mince it finely. Mix with 2 eggs, 50 ml cream, 2 tbsp flour and a pinch of salt (our additions), and fry small pancakes in butter for 2–3 minutes on each side, until cooked through with no pink inside (at least 70 °C). Buy the liver from a butcher on the day you cook it. The sugar may sound odd on liver; salt, pepper and a spoonful of lingonberry jam (not in the book) are the modern choice.

Carrots

borkānes and the book's other words, burkāni and mores, all mean carrots.
