- Preparation: 20 min
- Cooking: 48 min
- Makes: 1 serving (182 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Vegetarian
- Contains: dairy, gluten
Ingredients
- 35 g Flour, rye
- 8 g Sour cream
- 10 g Water
- 0.5 g Salt
- 60 g Potatoes, raw
- 50 g Carrots, raw
- 8 g Sugar
- 10 g Cream, heavy
- 0.5 g Caraway seeds
Method
- Mix the rye flour with the sour cream, water and salt into a firm dough; wrap and rest for 20 minutes. This makes 1 tart; multiply by 8 for a batch.
- Boil the potato and carrot separately until tender, then drain and mash each well.
- Combine the mashed potato and carrot with the sugar, cream and caraway seeds to make a smooth, lightly sweet filling.
- Roll the rye dough into a thin circle and shape it by hand into a small open cup with pinched, fluted edges, or drape it over an upturned muffin tin.
- Fill with the potato-carrot mixture and bake at 200 °C (400 °F) for 25-30 minutes until the crust is crisp and the filling is lightly set and golden at the edges.
- Cool before serving; sklandrausis is traditionally eaten at room temperature.
