Sweet Potato Pie
- 3 cups Hot Mashed Sweet Potatoes
- 2 Tablespoons Butter (salted)
- 2 cups Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 3 whole Eggs
- 2 whole Deep Dish Pie Crusts
- To prepare the sweet potatoes, you can use canned or fresh; either way, drain the potatoes after boiling and before mashing them. Add the butter to them while still hot. My great-aunt's tip to make the potatoes especially smooth is to whip them using a mixer and remove the stringy parts of the potatoes from the beaters periodically.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the spices with the sugar and baking powder. Add the baking soda to the buttermilk before adding to the dry mixture. In a small bowl, beat eggs until frothy, then add to the mixing bowl. Beat with a mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Pour into uncooked pie shells and place in a 400-degree preheated oven for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 300 degrees and bake for about 45 minutes longer. A dark candy-like crust will form on top when done. If the crust is cooking too fast, simply wrap a bit of foil around the edges.
