Serves: 8
Ingredients:
For the Crust:
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into cubes
- 3 to 4 tablespoons ice water
For the Filling:
- 2 medium sweet potatoes (about 1 1/2 lb), roasted and mashed to yield 2 cups
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon The Spice Way Ground Cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon The Spice Way Ground Nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon The Spice Way Ground Ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Preparation:
- Make the crust: mix flour and salt. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add ice water gradually until dough forms. Shape into a disk, wrap, and chill at least 30 minutes.
- Heat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pierce sweet potatoes and roast 45–60 minutes until tender. Cool, peel, and mash. Reduce oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Roll dough into a 12-inch circle and fit into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim and crimp edges.
- Whisk sweet potatoes, sugars, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Add milk and melted butter and mix until smooth.
- Pour into crust and bake 50–60 minutes until set at edges and slightly soft in center. Cool completely before slicing.
