Buttermilk Sweet Potato Pie 🍠🥧
Ingredients:
For the Pie Crust:
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ tsp salt
½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
4-5 tbsp ice water
For the Sweet Potato Filling:
2 cups mashed sweet potatoes (about 2 large sweet potatoes)
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
1 cup buttermilk
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
¼ tsp ground ginger
¼ tsp salt
For Garnish (Optional):
Whipped cream
Ground cinnamon
Toasted pecans
Instructions:
1️⃣ Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish. 🧈
2️⃣ For the pie crust, in a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Cut in the cold, cubed butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes. 🥧
3️⃣ On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a circle about 12 inches in diameter. Transfer the dough to the prepared pie dish, trimming and crimping the edges as desired. Set aside. 🍂
4️⃣ For the sweet potato filling, in a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes and melted butter. Stir in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until well combined. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. 🥄
5️⃣ Gradually add the buttermilk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and salt. Mix until the filling is smooth and well combined. 🍠
6️⃣ Pour the sweet potato filling into the prepared pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. 🍰
7️⃣ Bake the pie for 55-65 minutes, or until the filling is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the crust begins to brown too quickly, cover the edges with aluminum foil. ⏳
8️⃣ Allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing. ❄️
9️⃣ Optional: Garnish with a dollop of whipped cream, a sprinkle of ground cinnamon, or toasted pecans before serving. Enjoy your rich and flavorful Buttermilk Sweet Potato Pie! 🥧😋
