Some say sweet potato pie might be better than pumpkin. Being from the South, I sure think it is! Here’s how to make one as a side dish for your Thanksgiving spread, for dessert on a chilly night, or just because it’s delicious.
Ingredients
- Two medium sized sweet potatoes, baked.
- Four eggs
- Half a stick of butter, softened
- One cup brown sugar
- One teaspoon vanilla
- Milk as needed
- One pre-made pie shell
Directions
- Remove the skins from the cooked sweet potato.
- Add to a bowl along with the eggs, sugar, softened butter and vanilla.
- Pour a small amount of milk in.
- Use a hand beater to mix everything together. Keep blending until you get a thick liquid.
- Preheat your oven to 400°
- Pour into your prepared pie shell. Cover the outside edges of the shell with tin foil.
- Bake for approximately 45 minutes. Test by poking a fork into the middle to see if it comes out clean. If it doesn’t, continue baking for several more minutes, testing as you go.
