This is a classic holiday recipe for us.
6 c cubed yellow turnips (rutabaga)
2 tbsp butter
2 eggs, beaten
3 tbsp flour
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp baking powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Pinch nutmeg
½ c fine bread crumbs
2 tbsp butter, melted
Cook turnips until tender. Drain and mash. Add butter and eggs.
Beat well. (This much can be done the day ahead.) Combine flour, sugar, baking
powder, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Stir into turnips, butter a casserole and put
in turnip mixture. Combine crumbs and butter. Sprinkle on top. Bake at 375° for
25 minutes, or until light brown on top. Serves 6.
