Tips:
- For the perfect sweet potato pie crust, use a combination of butter and shortening. This will help create a flaky, tender crust.
- When blind baking the pie crust, use pie weights or dried beans to weigh it down. This will prevent the crust from bubbling up.
- For a smooth, creamy sweet potato filling, use a food processor or blender to puree the potatoes.
- Add spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger to the sweet potato filling for a warm, flavorful pie.
- If you don't have evaporated milk, you can use regular milk or half and half instead.
- To make sure the pie is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the pie is done.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will help it set and slice cleanly.
Conclusion:
Southern sweet potato pie is a delicious and comforting dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its flaky crust, creamy filling, and warm spices, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give this recipe a try.
