THE PINK TEA CUP'S SWEET POTATO PIE



The Pink Tea Cup's Sweet Potato Pie image

The Pink Tea Cup is a soul food restaurant that has been in Greenwich Village for more than five decades. I was sad to read recently that Greenwich Village is going to lose a little bit of its soul because the Pink Tea Cup has announced it is closing. Third-generation owner Lisa Ford said the eatery will close Jan. 3, 2010 because of a weak economy and rising costs. Ford began working at the restaurant after graduating from college 20 years ago. Her great-aunt, Florida native Mary Raye, opened The Pink Tea Cup in 1954. The restaurant, which seats 42 people, is painted pink inside and out, and is known for its fried chicken, smothered pork chops and catfish. Ford said business has been declining since the Sept. 11 attacks. One of their famous desserts is their Sweet Potato Pie. I had clipped the recipe for this delight some 25 years ago. I am now posting it here for posterity, since it won't be available to enjoy at the restaurant.

PATTI LABELLE-STYLE SWEET POTATO PIE



Patti LaBelle-Style Sweet Potato Pie image

This sweet, rich Southern stunner, adapted from Patti LaBelle's cookbook, LaBelle Cuisine, is the dessert we to turn to when the craving for sweet potato hits. We especially love the technique of sprinkling the crust with brown sugar before adding the filling, which creates a layer of delectable syrup.

Categories     Pie     Sweet Potato/Yam     Thanksgiving

Yield Makes 1 9-inch deep dish pie

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 Pie Dough
All-purpose flour for dusting
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted, divided
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar, divided
Kosher salt
2 large orange-fleshed sweet potatoes (about 1 3/4 pounds)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup half-and-half
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

Steps:

  • Prepare the pie shell:
  • Roll out prepared dough into a 13" round on a lightly floured surface. Roll dough loosely around rolling pin then carefully unfurl into 9" deep dish pie plate. Lightly press into plate. Leave 1" dough hanging over edge, trimming any excess dough. Tuck dough under itself, then crimp edge as desired. Cover with plastic wrap and chill while making filling, at least 30 minutes or overnight.
  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Uncover pie shell, prick bottom with a fork, and brush bottom and sides with 1 Tbsp. melted butter, leaving edge unbuttered. Sprinkle 1/4 cup brown sugar over bottom. Bake until pie dough is set and just beginning to brown, about 15 minutes. Cool completely in pan on rack, about 30 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F.
  • Make the filling:
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil over high heat. Add sweet potatoes and reduce heat to medium. Simmer until sweet potatoes are tender, 35-40 minutes. Drain, rinse under cold water, and peel.
  • Transfer sweet potatoes to food processor and mix to form a very smooth purée. Measure purée, then return 2 1/2 cups to food processor (reserve any remaining purée for another use). Add granulated sugar, eggs, half-and-half, cinnamon, nutmeg, and remaining 7 Tbsp. butter and 1/2 cup brown sugar. Mix until smooth. Spread filling into prepared pie shell, smoothing the top.Place pie pan on a baking sheet and place in oven. Bake until crust is lightly golden and filling is almost set with a slight jiggle in center, about 1 hour. Cool completely on a wire rack. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.Pie is best eaten the same day but can be baked 1 day ahead and cooled completely, then chilled, covered. Bring to room temperature before serving.

Tips:

  • Use a sweet potato with a deep orange color for a more flavorful pie.
  • Prick the potatoes with a fork before baking to help them cook evenly.
  • Bake the potatoes until they are very soft, about 1 hour.
  • Allow the potatoes to cool slightly before handling them.
  • Mash the potatoes until they are smooth and lump-free.
  • Use a stand mixer or hand mixer to beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.

  • Stir in the mashed potatoes, spices, and vanilla extract.
  • Pour the filling into a pie crust and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set.
  • Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing and serving.
