I need a sweet potato pie and pie crust recipe please?

Question

I am looking for a new pie and pie crust recipe, since the pie (my first) I made last year was very bland and the crust was not very flaky and tender. I want to try something new for this Thanksgiving and hope to improve upon last year.
Thanks

Answer 1

This is something different....easy....YUMMY....and no pie crust needed!
My dad HATES sweet potatoes but he scarffed this up like nothing!

SWEET POTATO CRUNCH
Mix in large bowl --
-2cans drained sweet potatoes
-1/4 c melted margarine or butter
-3 eggs
-1 tsp vanilla
-1/2 cup brown sugar

Spoon into 1quart casserole dish-sprayed w/Pam.
For topping, mix --
-3TB butter/margarine
-1/2 cup brown sugar-packed
-1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (this is optional)
-1/3 cup flour

Sprinkle topping mixture on top and bake @ 350 for 30 minutes until top bubbles.

I also have a recipe similar to this that uses pumpkin instead of sweet potatoe and it's served chilled...also YUMMYLICIOUS!!! (I'll be glad to email it to you if you'd like, just let me know!)

Answer 2

I find that because some sweet potatoes are sweeter than others, a recipe that comes out great one time may be too bland the next time. So here's my little secret:

For a 9" pie
Take 3 cups of mashed cooked sweet potatoes. Add 1 cup of light brown sugar, 1 tsp of cinnamon and 1 tsp of nutmeg. I don't like ginger in sweet potato pie - to me it tastes soapy and cloves make it too much like pumpkin pie. Stir and taste - it should taste a little too sweet and a little too spicy. if it doesn't, add a little more sugar and spice until it does. Beat in three eggs one at a time and stir in one cup of heavy cream and 1/2 stick of melted butter. Pour into a prepared pie shell -

Secret number two: I either make a sweet crust (recipe follows) or I buy a frozen deep dish pie crust, let it thaw out, re-flute the edge and brush it with melted butter. But the sweet crust is TO DIE FOR!:
•1/2 cup butter, softened
•1/3 cup brown sugar
•1-1/4 cups flour
•1/2 cup finely chopped nuts
•1/8 tsp. salt
•1/4 tsp. baking soda

Cream together butter and brown sugar. Add remaining ingredients until crumbly. Press crumbs against bottom and sides of 9" pie place, building up a 1/2" rim.

bake pie at 350 degrees F for about an about an hour or until firm and center just barely shivers.

Important thing is to taste for seasoning BEFORE you add the eggs - you don't want to eat raw eggs! - and adjust it to be a bit sweeter than you want it!

Good luck

Here's my Mother's recipe for Homemade Pie Crust that is flaky and very easy to make and tastes great! I'll find a Sweet Potato Recipes for you; since I don't make that type of pie...

OLGA's PIE CRUST:
4 cups flour
1 Tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1 3/4 cup Crisco Shortening
1/2 cup cold water
1 Tablespoon vinegar
1 egg
Stir the flour, sugar and salt together in a medium size bowl. With a pastry blender, cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a small bowl beat together water, vinegar and egg. Add to flour mixture until the dough comes together. Gently gather dough particles together into a ball. Wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 30 minutes. Divide into 4 balls. Lightly flour sides of the ball and roll out on lightly floured board or pastry cloth. Makes two 9-inch double-crust pies.

Note: Dough can be refrigerator up to 3 days. It can be frozen until ready to use; thaw until soft enough to roll.
