Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

3 large carrots, cubed
1 large turnip, cubed
¼ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup white sugar
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup milk
2 eggs
2 tablespoons white sugar
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 2-quart casserole dish.
Place carrot and turnip cubes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain; steam dry 1 to 2 minutes.
Return carrot and turnip cubes to the pot. Add flour, 1/4 cup sugar, butter, and salt; mash well.
Whisk milk and eggs together in a bowl; stir into mashed carrot-turnip mixture until combined. Transfer to the prepared dish. Combine remaining 2 tablespoons sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl; sprinkle over mashed mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven until casserole is slightly firmed and top has begun to turn golden brown, about 45 minutes.
