Sklandrausis
Kurzeme rye tarts layered with mashed potato and honey-sweetened carrot filling.
About Sklandrausis
Sklandrausis is a traditional Latvian tart from Kurzeme and Liv food culture, protected as a Traditional Speciality Guaranteed. This profile follows a honey-sweetened version with a rye case, potato base and carrot top layer.
The rye shell is earthy and lightly tangy, while potato gives a mild savoury centre. Carrot and honey add restrained sweetness, balanced by sour cream, butter and a small amount of salt.
Each tart is small and round with a firm dark rye rim, a pale potato layer and a thicker orange carrot topping. The shell is bread-like and sturdy while both vegetable layers remain soft and smooth.
