A fun and handheld take on a traditional holiday favorite. Topped with a sweet streusel and mini marshmallows, these gorgeous galettes could probably pass as dessert, but we'll leave that course to the pies. To save yourself some time, prepare the dough and streusel the day before.

Time 1h40m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 25

2 ½ cups all purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
16 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed and chilled
½ cup buttermilk, plus 2 tablespoons
kosher salt, for boiling
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
¼ cup milk
3 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 large egg
¼ cup all purpose flour
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar, lighlty packed
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed and chilled
½ cup chopped pecans
1 tablespoon water
1 egg
¼ cup turbinado sugar
½ cup mini marshmallows

Steps:

  • Make the dough: In a large bowl, mix together the flour, salt, and sugar. Add the butter and toss to coat. Using your hands, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles a coarse meal.
  • Make a well in the center of the butter/flour mixture and pour in the buttermilk. Working quickly so the butter doesn't soften, use your hands to form a shaggy dough.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until it comes together, being careful not to overwork. Form the dough into a 7-inch (18 cm) square about 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick. Cut into 8 equal pieces and form into discs. Wrap the discs in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight.
  • Make the filling: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the sweet potatoes, then reduce the heat to medium-high and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are very tender. Drain, then transfer to a medium bowl and let cool for about 10 minutes.
  • To the bowl with the sweet potatoes, add the melted butter, milk, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, salt, and egg. Mix well with a fork, mashing the sweet potatoes, until smooth and well combined. Let cool to room temperature.
  • Make the streusel: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick mat.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Work the butter into the dry ingredients with 2 forks until crumbly. Add the chopped pecans and mix well.
  • Spread the streusel on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, stirring halfway, until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly, then crumble and let cool completely before using. The streusel will keep in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
  • Assemble the galettes: Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Roll out each disc of pie dough into a 7-8 inch (18-20 cm)round, trimming the edges for even circles. Spoon about 3 tablespoons of the sweet potato filling into the center of each round. Fold the edges of the dough up and over the filling, leaving an opening in the center. Transfer the galettes to the prepared baking sheets, 4 per pan.
  • Brush with the dough with the egg wash and sprinkle with the turbinado sugar.
  • Bake the galettes for 25 minutes, then rotate the pan and bake for another 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and top each galette with about 1 tablespoon of the streusel and 1 tablespoon of marshmallows, then return to the oven and bake for another 5 minutes, or until the marshmallows are browned and bubbling.
  • Serve immediately.
  • Enjoy!

SMALL-BATCH SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE



Small-Batch Sweet Potato Casserole image

This recipe has all the flavors of the Thanksgiving classic, just in smaller form. Honey, I shrunk the sweet potato casserole! Mini marshmallows ensure you get lots of charred edges, which are pretty much the best part of sweet potato casserole anyhow. For ease, you can assemble the ramekins on a baking sheet when toasting the marshmallows.

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes (about 4 medium large), peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon half-and-half
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon light brown sugar
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg, optional
Kosher salt
1 ounce cream cheese
1 1/3 cups mini marshmallows

Steps:

  • Combine the sweet potatoes, half-and-half, butter, brown sugar, nutmeg if using and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large saucepan over medium-low heat and cook, covered and stirring occasionally, until the sweet potatoes begin to break down, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook, covered, stirring occasionally and breaking up the pieces as you stir, until the sweet potatoes are completely tender and have almost entirely fallen apart, another 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, position an oven rack in the upper-third of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F.
  • Add the cream cheese to the saucepan. Mix with a handheld mixer until the cream cheese is fully incorporated and the sweet potatoes are smooth.
  • Use a spatula to transfer 1 cup of the sweet potato mixture to each of four 1-cup ramekins. Top each ramekin with a 1/3 cup of the mini marshmallows. Bake until the marshmallows are puffed and browned, about 5 minutes.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh, unblemished sweet potatoes. Avoid potatoes that are too large or have any soft spots.
  • When microwaving the potatoes, pierce them several times with a fork to allow steam to escape. This will help them cook more evenly.
  • If you don't have a microwave, you can also roast the potatoes in the oven at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for about 45 minutes, or until they are tender.
  • Once the potatoes are cooked, let them cool slightly before handling. This will make them easier to peel and mash.
  • For a smoother casserole, use a food processor or blender to puree the potatoes. You can also mash them by hand with a potato masher.
  • Add your favorite mix-ins to the casserole, such as brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, or vanilla extract. You can also add chopped nuts, dried fruit, or marshmallows.
  • Bake the casserole at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until it is heated through and bubbly.
  • Serve the casserole warm, with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.

Conclusion:

Individual sweet potato casseroles are a delicious and easy-to-make holiday side dish. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, as they can be prepared ahead of time and reheated when ready to serve. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a sweet potato casserole that will be the hit of your next gathering.
