Thanksgiving: Sweet Potato Pie

Source of Recipe


From "Georgia Cooking in an Oklahoma Kitchen"



List of Ingredients



• 1-1/2 cups canned sweet potatoes or 2 to 3 roasted, peeled, and pureed sweet potatoes
  
• 3/4 cup sugar
  
• 2 large eggs
  
• 4 Tbsp (1/2 stick) butter, softened
  
• 1/4 cup milk
  
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
  
• 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  
• 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  
• Pinch salt
  
• 1 unbaked 9-inch pie shell
  






Instructions



1. Preheat the oven to 300°F.
   
   
2. In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the sweet potatoes and 1/2 cup of the sugar, as well as the eggs, butter, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Beat until thoroughly blended and smooth. Pour the mixture into the pie shell and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup sugar. Allow the pie to stand for 15 minutes before baking to allow the sugar to melt.
   
   
3. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about one hour. Cool before serving.
   
   Makes one 9-inch pie.
