Easy Sweet Potato Pie with Frozen Puff Pastry Easy Sweet Potato Pie with Frozen Puff Pastry
I got a huge sweet potato, but could not eat it all, so I decided to make a pie.Don't boil the sweet potatoes as they will be watery. Adding a little bit of water and steaming makes them fluffy. This is an easy version with no straining necessary. Adjust the amount of milk or honey to your taste. If you prefer a fluffy texture, then add more sweet potato. For 2 pies. Recipe by Naragon -

Basic Shortcrust Pastry Basic Shortcrust Pastry
This is the basic shortcrust pastry that I've been making for a long time. I've been using a food processor to make this recently, and it's become much easier and convenient to make.When you make it, be quick with your hands. If the dough is too sticky, as you go through the recipe steps, chill the dough in the refrigerator from time to time. (This a layered dough so if the butter melts, it won't have that light crispy texture.) If you use unsalted butter, add 1/4 teaspoon of salt to the mixture. Recipe by Yukiline -
