This stuff is lip-smackin' good.
Basic recipe:
3 c. mashed sweet potatoes (takes about 3 big ones) *
1/3 c. milk **
2 eggs
1 c. sugar ***
1 t. vanilla
1 stick of butter
pinch of salt
cinnamon, if you like it, however much you like ****
Mix above ingredients well with mixer or by hand. Pour into large casserole dish.
Topping:
1 c. brown sugar
2/3 stick butter
1 c. chopped pecans
1/3 c. flour
Melt butter. Mix flour, sugar, and nuts. Pour melted butter over mixture. Mix well, and spread over potatoes. Bake 25 minutes at 350 degrees. Serve hot or cold.
* Do yourself a favor: boil the sweet potatoes and THEN peel them. It much easier than doing it the other way around. ;)
** Half & Half makes it richer.
*** I only had 1/3 c. of sugar in the canister, so I supplemented with light brown sugar and some cane syrup. Whatever works, eh?
**** The recipe in this church cookbook does not call for cinnamon, but we like it. Taste the potatoes before you add it, though; they're really good without it.
