Southern Sweet Potato Pie Recipe

submitted by reader Maggie Graves of Fort Payne, AL

Ingredients
1 cup mashed sweet potatoes
2 eggs, beaten
1 2/3 cup sugar
3/4 cup evaporated milk
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup light corn syrup
3 tablespoons flour
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
pinch of salt
1 9-inch unbaked pie shell
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix together all ingredients in a large bowl until smooth. Pour into pie shell and bake for 55 to 60 minutes.

Tips from our test kitchen: For a more dense pie, use 1 1/2 cups mashed sweet potatoes rather than just 1 cup. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream and a dash of ground nutmeg or crystallized ginger.
