Brother's Favorite Sweet Potato Pie
Ingredients
  • 2 cups mashed sweet potatoes
  • 1/4 pound butter, softened
  • 2 eggs, separated
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup evaporated milk
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 (9 inch) unbaked pie crust
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to a high temperature of 400 degrees Fahrenheit (or 200 degrees Celsius, if you prefer metric measurements).
2
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, merge the sweet potatoes, butter, egg yolks, brown sugar, salt, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and evaporated milk. Ensure everything is harmoniously combined.
3
Next, whisk the egg whites until they become stiff and hold their shape; then, add 1/4 cup of sugar and gently fold it into the sweet potato mixture.
4
Now, pour this delightful mixture into a pie shell and bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit (or 200 degrees Celsius) for the initial 10 minutes. After that, decrease the heat and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (or 175 degrees Celsius) for a longer 30 minutes, or until the pie is firm to the touch.
