    Source of Recipe


    Internet

    List of Ingredients




    2 cups cooked, mashed sweet potatoes
    2 eggs
    1/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
    1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1 teaspoon cinnamon
    1/2 teaspoon ginger
    1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
    1/2 teaspoon orange extract
    1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

    Recipe



    Combine sweet potatoes and brown sugar; beat approximately 2 minutes with electric mixer on medium speed. Add eggs and beat another 2 minutes on medium speed. Blend in spices, salt and condensed milk. Add orange and vanilla extract and beat for about 1 minute. Pour mixture into prepared 9 inch pie shell. Sprinkle with streusel topping and bake in 375 degree oven for 50-55 minutes or until knife stuck in center comes out clean. Cover edges with foil to prevent over browning. Yield: 8 servings.

    Pie Crust:
    1 1/2 cups plus 2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
    1/2 cup Crisco shortening, butter flavored
    1 Tablespoon sugar
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    3-4 Tablespoons ice water

    Sift the flour, sugar and salt onto a large mixing bowl. Using a pastry blender work the Crisco into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add water, a tablespoon at a time, until mixture comes together. Form into a disk and wrap tightly in plastic wrap; refrigerate for 30 minutes. Roll out between tow pieces of wax paper and place in pie pan. Flute edges and fill with sweet potato mixture.

    Streusel Topping:
    1/4 cup chopped pecans
    1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
    2 Tablespoons cold butter or margarine
    1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

    Mix together with fingers until crumbly. Sprinkle on top of sweet potato pie before baking.
