Ingredients

The dough of Sklandrausis is made from rye flour, butter, and water. The potato filling consists of potatoes, sour cream, egg, butter, and salt. The carrot filling consists of carrots, butter, sour cream, egg, and sugar.

Preparation

Traditionally, the dough is cut in 10–20 centimetres (3.9–7.9 in) rounds, then the edges of the dough are turned up. The dough is filled with a thin layer of potato filling, topped with a thicker layer of carrot filling, then baked. Sklandrausis are served with milk and honey or with skābputra (a fermented milk-and-barley gruel).
