List of Ingredients
4 large Sweet Potatoes, peeled and sliced 1/2" thick (about 8
cups)
Lightly Salted Water to Cover
2 cups Sugar
4 Tbsp. Flour
1 tsp. Cinnamon
1/2 tsp. Ground Nutmeg
1/2 cup (1 Stick) Unsalted Butter
2 (9-inch) Rounds Unbaked Pie Pastry
2 Tbsp. Milk
1 Tbsp. Sugar
1/4 cup Chopped Pecans, optional
Recipe
Place Sweet Potato slices in a large saucepan with lightly
salted water to cover. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to
medium and simmer about 7-8 minutes, or until slices are just
tender but still firm. Drain all but 2 cups cooking liquid from
pan. Reserve Sweet Potato slices.
To liquid in pan, add sugar, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg. Stir to
combine. Add butter. Place pan over medium heat and stir until
sugar and flour dissolve and butter melts. Return Sweet Potato
slices to pan and let syrup bubble up. Remove from heat. Preheat
oven to 400 degrees.
Layer slices in the bottom of an 8x10-inch glass baking dish.
Pour syrup over. Cut pie pastry into 3/4-inch strips and layer
on liberally like latticework. Brush pastry top with milk and
then sprinkle with sugar. Scatter pecans over top, if desired.
Bake 20-25 minutes, or until pastry lightly browns and juices
bubble up. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
Makes 10-12 servings.
