Farmer Boy Recipe - "Diabetic" Sweet Tater Pie

Here is a pie that you can make for all those with Diabetes Type 2.  This one makes a 10 inch pie, so there is plenty to go around! 
Ingredients:

• 2 Cups - cooked, mashed sweet potatoes
• 1 can - Evaporated Milk
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten
• 24 packets of Equal sweetener
• 1 Tablespoon of softened butter
• 1 Tablespoon of all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
• 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon
• 3/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon of ground mace
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt

Directions: In a small bowl, mix Equal, flour and spices.  In another larger bowl, mix the sweet potatoes, evaporated milk, eggs, butter and vanilla.  Combine with the dry mixture.  Stir till smooth.   Pour into prepared pastry shell. *
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.  Place the pie in the oven and bake for 20 minutes.  Turn the heat down to 350 degrees F.  & bake for another 30 - 35 minutes, till a probe comes out clean.
* You may want to put foil over the exposed crust to prevent burning.  And it may take a bit longer than the expected time to firm up the center.

This is a great pie, even if you aren't diabetic!  I made this at Thanksgiving for a diabetic friend.  I made a lard-based shell, but you could just use one of those pre-made shells that you buy at the grocery store.

You can use this pie in place of the sweet potatoes in the meal, or you can serve it as dessert - warm or cold.
