Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Put crust in 9" pie pan. 2. In a bowl, combine the sugar, flour, milk (set 2 Tablespoons for use in Glaze), egg and vanilla. 3. Stir in the sweet potatoes. Pour into the pie shell. 4. For the Glaze, combine the sugar, flour, butter and 2 Tablespoons milk. Drizzle over the sweet potato mixture, but don't overdue it!
