Ingredients

2 sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks

2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/4 teaspoon baking soda

Directions

1 Place sweet potatoes into a large pot and cover with water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain well and let cool.
2 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line the bottom of a pie plate with pie crust.
3 Mash sweet potatoes with a potato masher or fork. Measure 2 cups of the mash into a large bowl. Mix in sugar eggs, butter, and vanilla extract.
4 Mix flour, pumpkin pie spice, and salt together in a separate bowl. Add to the sweet potato mixture.
5 Combine buttermilk and baking soda in a small bowl. Add to the sweet potato-flour mixture. Stir batter well; pour into the prepared crust.
6 Bake in the preheated oven until set, about 1 hour 10 minutes. Let cool on rack until firm, at least 20 minutes.
