Dorothys Sweet Potato Pie Recipes

Steps:

• Place sweet potatoes and orange peel into a large pot and cover with water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until soft, about 10 minutes. Drain well and let cool. Discard orange peel.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a 9-inch pie plate with pie crust.
• Mash cooled sweet potatoes with a potato masher or fork. Mix in eggs until well blended. Add pineapple juice, butter, and vanilla extract; mix until combined. Mix in flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt. Mix in sugar until dissolved. Blend in heavy cream using a whisk.
• Pour sweet potato mixture into the pie crust.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes. Place on a cloth on a table or window sill to cool down.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the sweet potatoes and 1/2 cup of the sugar, as well as the eggs, butter, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Beat until thoroughly blended and smooth. Pour the mixture into the pie shell and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup sugar. Allow the pie to stand for 15 minutes before baking to allow the sugar to melt.
• Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool before serving.

Steps:

• 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.

Steps:

• Fill a large pan with boiling water from the kettle and set over a medium-high heat. Cook the whole, unpeeled sweet potatoes for 30 mins until very tender when pierced with the tip of a sharp knife. Drain well and leave to cool for 10 mins, then peel.
• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Unravel the shortcrust pastry and use it to line a 23cm fluted tart tin. Line with baking parchment and fill with baking beans, then bake for 20 mins. Remove the parchment and beans and bake for another 5 mins.
• Tip the peeled sweet potatoes into a large bowl with the butter and mash with a potato masher until completely smooth. Tip in the sugar, milk, eggs, spices and vanilla and whisk until everything is combined and smooth.
• Tip the sweet potato filling into the pastry case, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake for 50-55 mins until the pastry and the surface of the pie is golden and the middle is set. Leave to cool completely in the tin, then remove to a cake stand or serving plate and cut into slices to serve.
