Soooo good! Make it even better by serving with fresh whip cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. I also like to use unsalted butter when making this.

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced 1/4 inch thick
3 1/2 cups water
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4-1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup shortening
5 -6 tablespoons very cold water

Steps:

  • In a saucepan, cook sweet potatoes in water until crisp-tender, about 10 minutes. Drain reserving 1-1/2 cups cooking liquid.
