Carrot Soufflé

For years this was a contribution to our Thanksgiving dinner from our good friend Patti. We still make it and think lovingly of her.

Ingredients:

  • 3 pounds carrots, sliced
  • 1½ cups butter (3 sticks)
  • 6 eggs
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 3 cups sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla

Cook carrots in boiling water (covered) for 15 minutes or until tender; drain. Position knife blade in food processor bowl; add carrots, butter and remaining ingredients and process until smooth, stopping once to scrape down sides. Spoon ingredients into greased baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour or until set and lightly browned. Serve immediately.
