Buttermilk Sweet Potato Pie
Ingredients
  • 1 (9 inch) unbaked pie crust
  • 2 cups cooked and mashed sweet potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to a high temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit (or 175 degrees Celsius for those using metric measurements).
2
Mash the sweet potatoes in a bowl until smooth, then combine with softened butter or margarine and beaten eggs. In another container, whisk together granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, and a pinch of salt until well combined. If desired, add your preferred spices to the mixture.
3
Gradually incorporate the sugar-flour-salt mixture into the sweet potato mixture, stirring until everything is fully incorporated.
4
In a separate container, whisk together buttermilk and baking soda until smooth. Add the buttermilk mixture to the sweet potato mixture, stirring until well combined.
5
Add a few drops of vanilla extract to the mixture and stir until fully incorporated.
6
Carefully pour the sweet potato filling into a pre-baked pastry shell, making sure to fill it evenly.
7
Place the pastry shell in the preheated oven and bake for 70 minutes, or until the filling is set in the center.
