2-3 tbsp butter or margarine
½ cup sugar
2 eggs
1-2 tsp vanilla
½ - 1 tsp cinnamon
¼ cup milk
Topping:
¼ cup softened butter ⅔ cup packed brown sugar
⅓ cup flour
¼ tsp cinnamon
⅓ cup chopped walnuts or pecans
In a
2 qt. Pot, bring about 3 to 4 cups of water to a boil over medium heat (add
dash of salt to water if you wish). Peel,
rinse & then cut potatoes into roughly 2 inch chunks, then add to
boiling water. Cook for 15 minutes until
very tender. Drain the cooked sweet potatoes, then put in a mixing bowl.
(Set oven to preheat to 350º) Add butter, then using a mixer, mash potatoes
until well mixed. Add the next 5
ingredients to mixing bowl & mix well.
Place sweet potato mixture in a lightly greased casserole dish and
smooth the top to a fairly even depth all over. Combine all 5 ingredients for the topping and
combine well with a mixer. Sprinkle
evenly over the base. Then bake for
20-25 minutes in a 350º oven.
