Sweet Potato Cobbler

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving and I hope all my readers also had a great holiday. Prior to Thanksgiving, Michael found a recipe for Sweet Potato Cobbler. We love sweet potatoes and he was thrilled with the recipe. It turned out to be so delicious and we will be making this again at Christmas.

Peel and slice 2 lbs. of sweet potatoes - about 4 large ones.

 Boil the sweet potatoes about 10 minutes or until tender. Reserve 1.5 cups of liquid.

 Butter a 13 X 9" glass pan.

 Sprinkle a mixture of flour, sugar, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg on top of the drained sweet potatoes. (See recipe)

 See recipe for very easy pastry. My grandmother Sallie used to put orange extract in her sweet potato dough and Michael decided he would do this next time.

We decided to add pecans on top , but that is strictly optional. Put pats of butter on top. (If a little is good, lots of butter is better - Right?)

 Place pastry dough on top of casserole and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon and and brush with melted butter.

 This is what it looks like when cooked. This could be served with whipped cream or ice cream. It is sooooo good.

 We just served ours as a side dish with pork loin medallions and rice and gravy. Michael and I were thrilled with how this came out and he feels this pastry recipe can be adapted to many other pie and dessert recipes.

Let me know if you found a new recipe that you want to share with the readers. I love sharing recipes and working with new recipes. Happy Holidays, Tina.
