DSC_0800
In all the recipes that we have done, we have not considered Epona or anything even remotely associated with her. Now Epona is a good horse and deserves some recognition for all the times she has hauled me around Hyrule field on some side quest to find a - oooh piece of candy. So in honor of our friend Epona, we are making a carrot recipe - and don't worry it won't be the last. This is one of my favorite recipes and it's pretty easy too. With a little GF baking know-how, there is not much difference if you want to make this GF or regular flour. Enjoy!
