📝 Preparation Steps
1
To make crust: In a medium mixing bowl whisk together 1 cup flour, 2 tsp sugar and heaping 1/4 tsp salt. Add butter and cut into mixture using a pastry blender until there are just small pea size clumps of butter throughout.
(142g) unbleached all-purpose flour (scoop and level to measure)1 cup(8 g) granulated sugar2 tsp(113g) unsalted butter, (well chilled, cut into small cubes)8 Tbsp(85g) salted butter, (diced into 1 Tbsp pieces)6 Tbspcup (150g) packed light brown sugar3/4tsp (heaping) salt1/4tsp ground cinnamon1/2tsp ground nutmeg1/2tsp ground ginger1/4tsp salt1/4
2
Add ice water 1 Tbsp at a time and toss until mixture is just moistened and comes together in bigger clumps. Gather mixture into a ball and shape and press into a smooth, 6-inch round on a lightly floured surface. Cover and refrigerate until dough is more firm, about ⏱️ 60 minutes.
3
Remove dough, roll out into a 12-inch round on a lightly floured surface. Fold in half then into a quarter or wrap around a rolling pin and transfer to a 9-inch standard pie plate and unwrap. Fit to plate, flute edges if desired.
4
Refrigerate until well chilled about ⏱️ 1 hour or freeze for ⏱️ 15 minutes. Meanwhile preheat oven to 400 degrees.
5
Line crust with a sheet of foil or parchment paper (cover to edges), add dry beans, rice, sugar or pie weights to fill just level to the top. Bake pie in preheated oven ⏱️ 15 minutes.
6
Hold all four corners of foil and remove beans. Prick bottom of pie crust about 10 times. Return to oven and continue to bake until it's starting to dry, about ⏱️ 8 - 12 minutes longer. Remove crust and let cool on a wire rack.
7
To bake sweet potatoes: (You can do this step while the pie dough is chilling) prick sweet potatoes once on each side with a fork. Wrap each potato individually in a sheet of foil. Place on a baking sheet.
8
Bake sweet potatoes in 400 degree oven until very soft all the way through when pierced with a knife or skewer, about ⏱️ 50 - 60 minutes (depending on their size). Let cool about ⏱️ 30 minutes until just warm.
9
To brown the butter: while sweet potatoes are cooling brown the butter in a light colored medium skillet. To do so add butter to skillet, set over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until butter has a nutty fragrant smell and light brown flecks. Careful not to burn it. Transfer butter to a dish to cool so it doesn't continue to cook and burn.
10
To make sweet potato pie filling: Heat oven to 350 degrees. Halve sweet potatoes, scoop out flesh. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and mash very well with a potato masher until nearly smooth. There should be 2 cups mashed sweet potatoes.
