Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F and place the pie crust into a deep-dish pie plate.
In a large bowl, mix the mashed sweet potatoes, 1/2 cup melted butter, 1 cup sugar, 2 eggs, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, evaporated milk, 1 tablespoon flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until smooth.
Pour the sweet potato filling into the prepared pie crust.
In another bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/2 cup melted butter, 1 1/4 cups sugar, 3 eggs, buttermilk, 2 tablespoons flour, cornstarch, remaining 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt until creamy.
Carefully pour the buttermilk mixture over the sweet potato layer.
Bake the pie for 60 to 70 minutes, until the top is golden and the center is softly set with a slight jiggle.
Allow the pie to cool completely, then refrigerate until chilled before slicing and serving.

Notes

Add a pinch of ground ginger for extra warmth and spice.

A homemade pie crust can be used for a more traditional flavor.

Serve with whipped cream or a light dusting of cinnamon for a sweeter finish.

Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Warm individual slices gently in the microwave or a low oven before serving if desired.
