Ingredients
Scale
- 2 to 3 sweet potatoes (about 3 cups sliced)
- 1 stick (4 ounces) butter
- 1 cup self-rising flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar (divided use)
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (or other preferred spice)
Instructions
- Peel and slice the sweet potatoes. You should have about 3 cups. Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Add the sweet potatoes. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for about 8 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are just tender. They should be tender but not falling apart. Drain and set aside to cool.
- Heat the oven to 350 F.
- Put the butter in a 2-quart baking dish and place it in the oven until the butter has melted.
- Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine the flour, 1 cup of sugar, and milk; mix until well blended.
- Combine the remaining 1 cup of sugar with the brown sugar, water, vanilla, and cinnamon. Mix well and add the sweet potatoes.
- Take the baking dish with the melted butter out of the oven. Pour the batter into the center of the melted butter; do not stir.
- Gently spoon the sweet potatoes and their liquids into the center of the batter; do not stir.
- Place the baking dish on a rimmed baking sheet to catch possible spills and bake for about 45 minutes or until golden brown.
