I love sweet potatoes. I usually just bake them and eat with a little melted butter and salt, but to change things up I usually use this recipe at holidays. I'm not sure where it comes from - passed down from someone's mom. Ingredients:
4 pound sweet potatoes (about 2 large cans in light syrup, drained) - if using fresh, peel and chop into 1 chunks, then boil in salted water) |
1/3 cup butter |
2/3 cup honey |
2 eggs, lightly beaten |
1 tsp vanilla extract |
2 tsp flour |
pinch salt |
pinch cayenne pepper |
topping |
1 cup chopped pecans |
1/3 cup butter, melted and cooled slightly |
1/3 cup flour |
1/2 cup brown sugar |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350. Mash together sweet potatoes, butter, honey, eggs, vanilla, flour, salt and pepper with electric hand mixer until just blended. Butter a 9 square Pyrex baking dish and place the mashed sweet potatoes in.
2. Combine the topping ingredients and spread evenly over the sweet potatoes. Bake for 35 minutes or until lightly browned and hot. This recipe may be assembled a day ahead of time and baked before serving.
