Butter Carrots

[UnderOpenSky]

As a kid I remember eating these at my aunts. I'm doing a roast tonight and fancied trying something different.

Google tells me there are many ways to cook them, from dumping the water, butter and sugar in a pan, boiling, then adding the water and sugar or skipping the boiling totally and letting them just cook in the butter.

Does anybody make these and what's your preferred method?

Roasted in a foil parcel with a smear of butter and a sprinkle of sugar. Often do them together with parsnips ....no washing up as a bonus

Butter carrots. He wants to make butter carrots, not roast, mashed or one of the many other methods of carrot preparation.

I do them in a frying pan with no water involvement. That's how my mum does them... chucking everything into water doesn't seem like a great idea, but it probably gives that very traditional look and taste; boiled carrots with a bit of a buttery taste. Frying pan they need to be on a low heat so they do take a while. Taste great though and make a change from roast carrots. No sugar needed.
