SWEET-POTATO-CUSTARD PIE IN ORANGE CRUST



Sweet-Potato-Custard Pie in Orange Crust image

This recipe came to The Times in 1995 in a column about the novelist and farmer Dori Sanders, who cooked it for Thanksgiving on her farm in Flibert, S.C.. It is, some say, quite the best thing to do with a sweet potato. "People tell their life stories through food," Ms. Sanders said. "They talk about how they did it then, how they do it now. The way they talk tells you who they are."

Time 2h

Yield One 10-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus flour for sprinkling the surface
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup chilled unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1/2 cup chilled vegetable shortening, cut into small pieces
1/2 teaspoon grated orange rind
3 to 4 tablespoons chilled orange juice
1 teaspoon sugar
Pinch of ground nutmeg
3 eggs, beaten
1 cup sugar
2 cups cooked, mashed and sieved sweet potatoes (about 2 large or 3 small sweet potatoes)
1/3 cup whole milk
1/3 cup light cream
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon lemon extract
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Large pinch of ground nutmeg (optional)

Steps:

  • To make the crust, sift the flour and salt together in a large bowl. Cut in the butter, shortening and orange rind with a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture is crumbly.
  • In a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of orange juice with the sugar and nutmeg. Using a fork, stir the orange-juice mixture into the flour mixture to form a soft dough, adding additional orange juice if necessary. Do not overmix. Refrigerate at least 1 hour.
  • On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to fit a 10-inch pie plate. Press the crust firmly into the plate and trim and crimp, or flute, the edges. Set aside.
  • For the filling, beat the eggs, sugar and sweet potatoes together in a medium bowl. Add the milk and light cream and stir until combined. Add the melted butter, orange juice, vanilla extract, lemon extract, salt and nutmeg, if using, and mix well.
  • Pour the mixture into the pie shell and bake until a knife inserted into the middle of the custard comes out clean, about 40 to 45 minutes.

RHUBARB ORANGE CUSTARD PIE



Rhubarb Orange Custard Pie image

Once you try this pie it will spoil you for other rhubarb pie recipes. This recipe is from the old Farm Journal pie book from the sixties and is a family favorite. That book had several wonderful recipes. Unfortunately the book was poorly made and disintegrated all too soon. We were thrilled to learn that it had been re-issued but discovered to our dismay that that all of our favorite recipes were gone! We made do by photo copying the remains of the old book and now you get to share in the bounty. By the way NEVER skip the drip pan! This pie will always overflow and it makes a nasty smelly mess on the bottom of the oven if you don't have something to catch it.
