Ingredients
  

For The Pie Crust

  • 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon of salt
  • ½ cup of unsalted butter cold
  • 4-6 tablespoons of ice water

For The Sweet Potato Filling

  • 2 medium-sized sweet potatoes
  • ½ cup of granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup of brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup of milk
  • ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon of ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon of ground ginger
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Preparing The Pie Crust

  • In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt.
  • Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture.
  • Use a pastry cutter or two forks to blend the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together.
  • Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Making The Sweet Potato Filling

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then cut them into chunks.
  • Boil the sweet potato chunks until they are fork-tender, approximately 15 minutes.
  • Drain the sweet potatoes and mash them until smooth.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and a pinch of salt.
  • Add the mashed sweet potatoes to the sugar and spice mixture, blending until well combined.

Assembling And Baking

  • Roll out the chilled pie crust on a floured surface to fit your pie dish.
  • Carefully transfer the crust to the pie dish, trimming any excess dough.
  • Pour the sweet potato filling into the pie crust.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
  • Allow the pie to cool before serving.
