Sweet potato pie

Recipe Information

Ingredients

• Crust

  • 11/4 cups flour

  • 1/4 teaspoon sugar

  • 1/3 cup fat-free milk

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

• Filling

  • 3 cups sweet potatoes, cubed

  • 1/4 cup white sugar

  • 1/4 cup brown sugar

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

  • 3 large eggs, beaten

  • 1/4 cup fat-free evaporated milk

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

• Preheat an oven to 350ºF.

• To make the crust, combine the flour, sugar, evaporated milk, and vegetable oil in a mixing bowl. Using hands, shape the mixture into a smooth ball. Place the ball between two pieces of wax paper and flatten with a rolling pin. Remove the top piece of wax paper and flip the flattened dough into a greased pie pan.

• To make the filling, boil 1/2 inch of water and steam the cubed sweet potatoes until tender, about 10 minutes. Mash and set aside. In a bowl, combine the white and brown sugar, salt, nutmeg, beaten eggs, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract. Add the sweet potatoes and mix well.

• Pour the sweet potato mixture onto the crust in the pie pan. Bake for 1 hour or until the crust is golden brown. Cool before slicing and serving.
