Sweet potato pie

Hello people,


This time,I've tried baking my first pie(sweet potato) & it turned out pretty well...so here goes the recipe :)


Ingredients :
  • 2 large sweet potatoes
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour (maida)
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 store bought pie sheet (9")


Directions:

  • Boil the potatoes till they become very soft. Drain the water,peel & keep aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 F.
  • Take a bowl & mash the potatoes along with the butter till it becomes a fine paste.
  • To this mixture,add sugar,vanilla extract,cinnamon,flour & eggs. Mix well till there are no lumps in the batter. To this,add milk & mix well.
  • If the pie sheet is frozen,thaw it at least 30 mins in advance. Place the pie sheet in a 9 inch glass pie plate(grease it with butter/cooking oil before placing the pie sheet) & pour the batter in it.
  • Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 1  hour or until done.(check the pie with a toothpick,if the toothpick comes out clean,the pie is done.)
  • Remove the pie from the oven & let it cool for 30 minutes. Refrigerate for 1 hour & serve. (You can serve the pie with whipped cream,if you are not concerned about calories :D )
