3 large sweet potatoes, uncooked 1 stick butter or margarine 1 1/2 C. granulated sugar 1/2 tsp. nutmeg 1/2 tsp. salt
Dumplings or Crust 2 C. all-purpose flour Pinch of salt 1 T. shortening Milk or water
Peel and slice potatoes thin; cover with water and cook until tender. Reserve liquid for pie.
For the dumplings, mix flour, salt, shortening and enough milk or water to make a stiff dough. Use a floured board and roll very thin. Cut into strips.
Using a deep pan, put in half of potatoes, butter, sugar and spices. Cover with a layer of pastry. Place remaining half of potato mixture on top of pastry and top with another layer of pastry. Sprinkle with sugar, nutmeg and butter (mixed together). Use enough liquid to make juicy. Test for sweetness. Bake at 400ºF until golden.
