Ingredients:

  • 3 -4 lbs yams (cooked and mashed *see note)
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/3 cup flour

Directions:

  1. In a bowl, mix together the topping ingredients and set aside. (Note: I'm now gluten free and make this without the flour and it turns out just fine).
  2. In a separate bowl, combine remaining ingredients and place into a baking dish.
  3. Sprinkle topping over yam mixture and bake, uncovered at 350 or 375 degrees for 30 minutes.
  4. Note: The dish can be assembled the day before, refrigerated overnight and then baked in the oven for 30-45 minutes.
  5. *To cook the yams, I bake in a 400 degree oven until soft when pierced with a fork. Place them on a foil-lined baking sheet in case they leak a bit. Cooking time depends on size of yams, but for a few medium-sized yams it usually takes about an hour. Let them cool and then just pull the skin off and mash.
