Ingredients:
2 medium sweet potatoes
1/2 cup butter, softened ( she used sweet cream butter)
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon cloves
2 eggs
1 pinch baking soda
2 deep dish pie shells
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400.
Pierce sweet potatoes with a fork and microwave on high until tender, about 6 minutes on each side. Cut open; cool completely.
Scrape potato flesh into bowl; mash until smooth.
Measure out enough potato puree to equal 1 cup, discard the rest.
Cream together sweet potatoes, butter, buttermilk, eggs and sugar. Add spices and baking soda and blend well.
Pour half into each crust and bake on 400 for about 45 minutes or until set in center.
(Adding a dollop of whipped cream to the top of each piece while it is still warm is a very special treat!).
