Tips
- Whip sweet potatoes first to remove any strings.
- For a more custardy pie filling, use melted butter versus softened butter.
- Do not blind bake pie shells because they will bake for over an hour.
- When making multiple pies, adjust the original recipe by adding an additional egg, half a stick of butter, and a quarter cup of milk per pie.
