Ingredients
2 cups mashed sweet potatoes
1/2 cup butter
2 large eggs
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 whole pie crust
Method
Start by setting your oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) to preheat.
In a generous mixing bowl, blend together the creamy mashed sweet potatoes, softened butter, and eggs until the mixture is velvety.
In a separate bowl, combine the sugar, flour, and a pinch of salt. For an added kick, feel free to introduce your favorite spices.
Slowly incorporate the dry mixture into the sweet potato blend, ensuring a thorough mix.
In a small bowl, mix the buttermilk with baking soda, then fold this bubbly mixture into the sweet potato batter along with a splash of vanilla extract.
Transfer the luscious filling into a pre-prepared pie crust and smooth out the surface.
Bake in the oven for approximately 70 minutes, or until the center feels set and firm.
