• 1/2 tsp baking powder

• 1 1/2 cups finely grated carrots

Syrup
• Piloncillo, melted down or use maple syrup
• 4 ounces cream cheese
• 2 TBSP cream
• Nuts, optional

Instructions

1. Mix sugar and oil well.
2. Mix in eggs one at a time.

4. In a separate bowl whisk together flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Add to sugar, egg, and cream and mix until just combined.
5. Mix in carrots and nuts.
6. Heat your griddle and smear with butter before you drop the batter onto it.
Syrup
7. In a small pan combine all ingredients for the syrup and mix well. If you use piloncillo, make sure you melt it down first, click here to see my previous post about it. Add more cream if it's too thick. It tastes a lot like caramel when it's done.
