  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 3 to 4 tablespoons ice-cold water
For the filling:
  • 2 cups mashed sweet potatoes
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup evaporated milk
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Equipment

Method

1. Make the pie crust: In a food processor or mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and sugar. Add the cold butter and pulse or use a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle the ice water over the mixture and pulse or mix until the dough comes together. Flatten the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. 2. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F. 3. Roll out the dough: On a floured surface, roll out the dough to a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie dish and trim the edges. 4. Make the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, sugar, evaporated milk, beaten eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix well until smooth. 5. Pour the filling into the crust: Pour the sweet potato filling into the pie crust and smooth it out with a spatula. 6. Bake the pie: Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. 7. Cool and serve: Let the pie cool to room temperature before slicing and serving.

Recipe Tips

  • If you don't have a food processor, you can use a pastry cutter or your hands to mix the dough.
  • Use a fork to prick the bottom of the pie crust before baking. This will prevent the crust from puffing up.
  • You can use canned sweet potatoes, but fresh sweet potatoes will yield a better flavor.
  • For a smoother filling, you can use a hand mixer or blender to mix the ingredients.
  • You can use a store-bought pie crust if you prefer.
