Carrot Prep: Start by chopping carrots evenly, then pan-roast with a pinch of salt and butter until they achieve a lovely roasty brown hue.
Blend the Base: Off the heat, add more butter, milk, honey, vanilla, wine, and lemon juice (plus spices if desired) and blend until smooth.
Create the Roux: Cook flour in remaining butter to form the roux.
Egg Work: Temper whisked egg yolks with some of the hot mix, then separately whip egg whites with cream of tartar and sugar to soft peaks.
Fold and Bake: Fold egg whites into the carrot mixture, pour into a casserole dish, and bake in a water bath at 375°F until puffed and lightly browned.
