Does any one have a easy great tasting sweet potato pie recipe?

Sweet Potatoe Pie


Yield: 6 to 8 servings





2 cups peeled, cooked sweet potatoes


1 1/4 cups sugar


1/2 stick melted butter


2 eggs


1 teaspoon vanilla extract or 1 to 2 tablespoons bourbon


1/4 teaspoon salt


1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon


1/4 teaspoon ground ginger


1 cup milk


9-inch unbaked pie crust


3 egg whites





Preheat the oven to 350潞F.





For the filling, using an electric hand mixer, combine the potatoes, 1 cup of the sugar, the butter, eggs, vanilla, salt, and spices. Mix thoroughly. Add the milk and continue to mix. Pour the filling into the pie crust and bake for 35-45 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Place the pie on a rack and cool to room temperature before covering with meringue.





For the meringue, using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form; beat in the remaining 1/4 cup sugar 1 tablespoon at a time. Continue beating until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is glossy and stiff, but not dry. With a rubber spatula, spoon the meringue onto the pie, forming peaks. Make sure the meringue touches the crust all around. Sprinkle with a pinch of granulated sugar. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until delicately browned. Cool and serve.Does any one have a easy great tasting sweet potato pie recipe?

DIRECTIONS





In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and sugar. Add potatoes, eggs, corn syrup, nutmeg, salt, butter and evaporated milk; beat well. Pour into pastry shell. Bake at 350掳 for 55-60 minutes. Yield: 8 servings.
a. 3 lbs. Yams.


b. 1 1/2 cups sugar.


c. 1 can evaporated milk.


d. 2 eggs.


e. 1 1/2 tsp nutmeg.


f. 1 tsp vanilla.


g. 1 stick of butter.1/4 lb


h. Dash of cinnamon.





Pre-heat your oven to 400掳F. Boil the yams with the skin on until a fork or butter knife causes the yams to easily break apart when inserted. Cool yams slightly. Then place in a collander and run cold water over them to assist you with removing the skins since the yams will still be pretty hot. Beat yams with mixer on medium speed, stopping frequently to remove strings from the beaters. Once the strings are removed, add butter and continue to mix. Then add remaining ingredients. You may need to adjust the nutmeg and sugar to your tastes. I like my pie sweet with a good amount of nutmeg! Continue mixing your batter until it has a nice smooth consistency. The batter should not be thin or runny, and it should not be too thick either. If too thick, try adding a little more evaporated milk (by the tablespoon) until the batter is smooth. Pour your batter into your favorite unbaked 9 or 10 inch pie shell, sprinkle a dash of cinnamon on the top and bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour.(Tip: Brush the edges of your pie shell with ice water to prevent it from burning before the pie is actually done). Brown specs on the top of the pie are an indication that your pie is done. You can also insert a knife in the middle of the pie, and if it comes out clean it's done! Let cool for at least 1 hour before cutting and serving. This pie is simply delicious when served slightly warmed by itself, or go ahead and throw caution (and your diet) to the wind by placing a large scoop of french vanilla ice cream on top of a nice warm slice! I really like my pie nice and cold right out of the frig after it's set over night with a tall glass of ice cold milk. Hmmmmmmmmmm GOOD!
