Sweet Potato Pie

       Ingredients

 

• 1 ½ cup sweet potatoes (boiled, peeled, and mashed until smooth)
• 2 TBS melted butter
• ½ cup light brown sugar (packed – mashed down in the cup to eliminate extra air)
• ½ tsp ginger
• 1 tsp cinnamon (powder type – not the sticks)
• ½ tsp salt
• 3 eggs lightly beaten
• 1 ¾ cups whole milk (regular milk)
• 1 pie shell unbaked (9 inch size – deep dish)

     Directions:

1. Mix together in a bowl the sweet potatoes, butter, and brown sugar.
2. Add ginger, cinnamon, and salt and mix.
3. Combine eggs and milk and add to sweet potato pie mixture and mix well.
4. Pour sweet potato pie mixture into pie shell.
5. Bake for 10 minutes at 450 degrees F and then reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F for 45 minutes. This method of high and then low baking helps keep the crust from being mushy or soggy
