Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 lb large sweet potato, 4 potatoes
1 cup unsalted butter, 2 sticks, melted
2 ½ cups sugar
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon kosher salt
4 large eggs
1 tablespoon self-rising flour
¼ cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon lemon extract
3 pies frozen prepared pie crust, unbaked

Steps:

  • Cook the sweet potatoes in a large pot of boiling water until fork-tender, about 25-30 minutes. Drain and let cool completely.
  • Preheat the oven to 365˚F (185˚C).
  • Peel the sweet potatoes, then transfer to a large bowl and mash thoroughly with an electric hand mixer or fork.
  • Add the melted butter, sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt. Beat to combine, then scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating to incorporate each addition. Add the self-rising flour, buttermilk, vanilla, and lemon extract, and beat to combine.
  • Divide the sweet potato filling between the frozen pie crusts and smooth the tops.
  • Bake for about 1 hour, until pies are set in the center. Cover the crusts with foil if it is getting too dark before the pies finish baking.
  • Cool the pies for 2 hours on a wire rack.
  • Slice and serve.
  • Enjoy!
