How to Make Fantastic Carrot and Caramel Pie
Put half the sugar in a saucepan, add a spoonful of water and boil until caramelization begins. Pour in half the oil, mix and add the carrots grated on a fine grater. Stir well and simmer for a couple of minutes. Cool it down. Beat the eggs with the remaining sugar until fluffy. Add the remaining butter a little while whisking. Sift flour with baking powder and baking soda to the eggs, add salt and spices. Mix gently with a mixer at low speed. Add carrots and toss with a spatula. Optionally, you can add chopped walnuts - half a glass, stir. Pour in the lemon juice and gently stir the dough again with a spatula. Place the dough in a baking dish lined with parchment and bake in an oven preheated to 180 degrees until a dry splinter and golden brown crust. Cool the pie on a wire rack and cut in half. The pie is very tender and juicy, does not need impregnation.
