RECIPES FOR PIES
SWEET POTATO PIE
Stew 3 cupfuls of sliced sweet potatoes in 1 quart of water. When done, add 1 1/2 cups of sugar; 2/3 cup of butter, and a teaspoonful of grated nutmeg. For the dough take a scant quart of flour, 1 teaspoonful each of salt and soda. Sift, work in a small cup of lard and moisten with 1 2/3 cups of buttermilk. Knead 2 minutes. Roll out % of it to line a deep 3-quart pudding dish or baking pan; put in the potatoes and the water in which they were stewed with the seasoning. Roll out remainder of dough and cover, being careful to have the edges, pressed together. Bake quickly to a light brown and serve in the pan in which it is baked.
