Spiced Carrot Pancakes
- 1 lb carrot, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 12 teaspoons baking powder
- 34 teaspoon ground cumin
- 12 teaspoon ground ginger
- 14 teaspoon cayenne
- 18 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- major grey mango chutney, for topping
- Place the carrots in a saucepan; cover with water, and bring to a boil.
- Decrease heat to medium, partially cover the pan, and cook until the carrots are tender enough to be pierced easily with the tip of a knife.
- Drain the carrots well and place them in a food processor fitted with the metal blade.
- Process the carrots, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed, until you have a smooth puree.
- Measure out 1 cup of the puree, and reserve any remaining puree for another use.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cumin, ginger, cayenne, cinnamon, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter to blend thoroughly.
- Pour the liquid ingredients over the dry ingredients and mix with a whisk, stopping when everything is just combined.
- With a rubber spatula, gently but thoroughly fold in the carrot puree; batter will be thick.
- Lightly butter, oil, or spray your platar, griddle, or skillet.
- Preheat over medium heat, or if using electric griddle, set to 350.
- If you want to hold the pancakes until serving time, preheat your oven to 200.
- Spoon 2 tablespoons of batter onto the griddle for each pancake; use a spatula or back of your spoon to lightly press the batter into rounds.
- When the undersides of the pancakes are golden and the tops are lightly speckled with bubbles that pop and stay open, flip the pancakes over with a spatula and cook until the other sides are light brown.
- Serve immediately, or keep the finished pancakes in the preheated oven while you make the rest of the batch.
- Serve as a side dish or main dish topped with chutney; side salad of mesclun with a mustard vinaigrette is good.
