Peel the parsnips and chop them into small, even-sized pieces.
Boil the parsnips in a pot of salted water for 15 minutes or until they are soft and easy to mash. Drain and let them cool slightly.
Preheat your oven to 180Β°C (350Β°F) and grease a baking dish with a small amount of butter.
Mash the boiled parsnips until smooth. You can use a potato masher or a food processor for a finer texture.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
Add the mashed parsnips and flour to the wet mixture. Stir until everything is evenly combined and a smooth batter is formed.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Place the dish in the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the pudding is golden brown and set in the center. A knife inserted into the middle should come out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow the pudding to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm as a sweet side dish or drizzle with cream or caramel sauce for dessert.
