She died and I can't find these pies. Please help!Can anyone give me a recipe for sweet potatoe pie with sweet dough crust?
CAJUN SWEET DOUGH:
INGREDIENTS:
3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 1/3 cups white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg
4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk
1 (12.5 ounce) can cherry pie filling
1 egg white (for egg wash)
DIRECTIONS:
Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, beat the butter, then add the sugar a little at a time. Add the vanilla. Beat the mixture until it is nice and fluffy. Beat in the egg. Stir in the flour mixture alternately with the milk.
Before you use this dough, be sure you chill it well at least 2 hours or even overnight.
Roll dough out to 1/4 inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Gently mold into buttered pie dish. Trim and crimp the edges. Use any extra dough for decorations (cut into leaves...). Brush edges with egg wash and set aside until needed.
SWEET POTATO PIE FILLING:
INGREDIENTS:
1 pound of sweet potatoes
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup milk
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (9 inch) unbaked pie crust
DIRECTIONS:
Boil sweet potato whole in skin for 40 to 50 minutes, or until done. Run cold water over the sweet potato, and remove the skin.
Break apart sweet potato in a bowl. Add butter, and mix well with mixer. Stir in sugar, milk, eggs, nutmeg, cinnamon and vanilla. Beat on medium speed until mixture is smooth. Pour filling into an unbaked pie crust.
Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 55 to 60 minutes, or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Pie will puff up like a souffle, and then will sink down as it cools.Can anyone give me a recipe for sweet potatoe pie with sweet dough crust?
My sweet potatoe recipe
consists of
boiled sweet potatoes, butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, allspice, vanilla extract, rum extract or a sweet rum.
If i were to make a sweet potatoe turnover, I would probably do the following. (because its easy)
peel potatoes, then mix all ingredients, I would use several regular pie crust, take them out of the pan cut into medium circles. spoon the potatoe mix in the middle of circle, close shell so you have a 1/2 circle use fork to seal the ends. I would probably then deep fry the pies, when they are brown, take them out and place them on a paper towel to drain the grease and while still hot sprinkle with, sugar and cinnamon.
MM mmm mm I shock myself sometimes, I am gonna try this tonight
