• Ready In: 15 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 5  medium carrots, shredded (about 2 cups)
• 1  small yellow onion, finely chopped
• 3  tablespoons flour
• 2  tablespoons cornmeal
• 1  egg, lightly beaten
• 2  tablespoons milk (or half and half, or sour cream)
• 1  teaspoon dried dill weed
• 1⁄2 teaspoon sugar
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1⁄8 teaspoon black pepper
• 2  tablespoons margarine
• 1  tablespoon olive oil

Directions

1. In a medium bowl, mix the carrots, onion, flour, corneal, egg, milk, dill, sugar, salt, baking powder and pepper. Shape the mixture into 8 patties about 1 1/2" thick. Transfer to a platter, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This will keep up to 12 hours.
2. Heat the margarine and the oil in a heavy 10" skillet until sizzling, about 1 minute. Turn heat down to medium . Brown the patties for 5-8 minutes on each side. Drain on a platter lined with paper towels, then serve immediately. You may serve this as a side dish or a light luncheon along with a mixed green salad and whole grain bread. This would also be good as a breakfast with maple syrup! Enjoy!
