SWEET POTATO PIE FOR TWO

Steps:

• For the crust: Put a small baking sheet on a rack in the center of the oven, and preheat to 375 degrees F. Process the flour, butter, granulated and confectioners' sugars and salt in a food processor until the mixture resembles wet crumbs and holds together when squeezed in your palm, about 2 minutes (this takes longer than seems necessary, but be patient). Divide the mixture evenly between 2 disposable 5-inch pie tins, and press the dough very firmly into the bottoms and up the sides, making sure to press it into the corners very well. Smooth and flatten the tops with your fingers or the back of a small spoon.
• Bake the crusts on the hot baking sheet until the bottom and sides are golden brown (probably more in some spots than in others), about 12 minutes. Let cool completely on a cooling rack.
• For the filling: Whisk together the eggs, cream, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and allspice in a medium bowl. Whisk in the sweet potato and then the melted butter.
• Mound the filling in the pie shells, and bake until puffed and the centers still look slightly wet but not loose, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely before serving.
• If using marshmallows: Right before serving, preheat the broiler. Pile 1/4 cup mini marshmallows in the center of each pie, and broil until the marshmallows are bubbling and well browned, 30 to 40 seconds. Serve immediately.
• If not using marshmallows: Dollop each pie with some whipped cream, and serve.

SPICED SWEET POTATO PIE WITH NUTS

Steps:

• For Crust: In a bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
• With a pastry cutter, cut in the butter until the mixture is coarsely texture with small irregular flakes and bits the size of small peas.
• Stir in the almonds until combined.
• Sprinkle on the water, 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring with a fork until the dough just holds together.
• Gather the dough into a ball, flatten it into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a 1/8-inch thick round.
• Fit the dough into the pie pan.
• Chill the shell in the freezer while making the filling.
• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• For the Filling: In a large bowl, stir together the sweet potatoes, milk and sugar until combined.
• Stir in the eggs, brandy, pie spice, salt and pecans and combine well.
• Pour the filling into the chilled pie shell and bake for 20 minutes.
• Lower the oven temperature to 325°F and bake for 30 to 35 minutes longer (until the tip of a sharp knife inserted in the center comes out clean).
• Remove the pie from the oven to a wire rack and cool for 30 minutes.
• The pie may be served warm or at room temperature.

MAMMAM'S PUMPKIN PIE (MAKES 2 PIES)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F.
• In a medium pot, add Pumpkin, Butter, Salt, Sugar, Ginger, Nutmeg, and Cinnamon.
• Simmer over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Do not let pumpkin boil, it will lead to a watery pie. Lower heat if pumpkin looks like it may boil.
• Remove from heat.
• In a bowl, beat 5 eggs and one yolk (save extra egg white for crust).
• Add milk to eggs and stir.
• Keep stirring and add pumpkin to egg mixture a little at a time.
• Stir in the Vanilla and Whiskey.
• Brush egg white over the inside and edge of the pie crust and let egg white dry. This will prevent the crust from getting too soggy and will create a nice shine to the edge of the pie crust.
• Pour pumpkin evenly into 2 pie crusts.
• Bake at 450 for 20 minutes then reduce the heat to 325 for 45 minutes.
• Keep an eye on the pie toward the last 10 minutes. If you see cracks forming take the pies out of the oven, this is a sign of over cooking.
