Old Fashioned Sweet Potato Pie

This recipe is from a Vintage Cookbook that I recently bought at the Mennonite Relief Sale . The book is dated 1961.
I'll continue to choose some of my favorite recipes from the book.

This is a very traditional American Pie, typically served at Thanksgiving.
Enjoy it any time of the year.

1/4 C Butter
1/2 C Brown Sugar
1 C Mashed Sweet Potatoes
3 Eggs, beaten
1/3 C  Corn Syrup
1/3 C Whole Milk
1/2 tsp Salt
1 tsp Vanilla
1 Unbaked Pie Shell
Warm Maple Syrup for serving

In a Stand Mixer with a paddle attachment:
Butter
Sugar
Beat until creamy.

Add:
Sweet Potatoes
Eggs
Mix untiled combines well.

Add:
Corn Syrup
Milk
Salt
Vanilla
Continue beating on low until combined.

Pour into the crust.
Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes and reduce the temperature to 350 degrees for an additional 45 - 50 minutes.
Serve a slice drizzled with warm Maple Syrup.

I hope some of my European friends or friends that haven't tasted this delicious pie, will try it!

Enjoy!
Peace in the Kitchen!
