| Comments: This southern comfort food has a smooth texture that is infused with the scrumptious flavors of the holidays. |
Ingredients:  1 1/4 cups (approximately 1 to 1 1/4 pounds-or 3-4 medium) cooked sweet potatoes 4 oz. (1 stick/1/2 cup/113g) butter 2 cups granulated sugar 3 large eggs, beaten 1/4 cup light brown sugar 1/2 cup buttermilk 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon salt 2-3 tsp. pumpkin pie spice 1 tsp. vanilla extract 1 9-inch deep dish pastry pie shell (may be homemade, store-bought frozen or refrigerated, roll-out pie crust works equally well) |
| Instructions: 1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. 2. Boil sweet potatoes in a big pan of water. When tender, peel the sweet potatoes, then place in a large bowl and mash well (if you beat them with a hand mixer, the strings will wrap around the beaters and you can discard them). 3. Add butter, sugars, pumpkin pie spice and salt to mashed sweet potatoes. Mix well with a mixer. 4. Add eggs, buttermilk, flour, and vanilla, and mix well. 5. Pour sweet potato mixture into prepared 9-inch deep dish pie shell. 6. Bake for 10 minutes in preheated oven, then lower temperture to 375 degrees F and bake for 25-35 minutes. The center of pie should be firm. Insert a knife into the very center of pie. If it comes out clean, the pie is done. TIP: I place foil around the edges of pie crust so it won't become overly browned. Makes 6-8 servings. |
