Creamy Buttermilk Sweet Potato Pie

Heat oven to 400 degrees F.

Bake empty pie shell for 6-7 minutes, or until the bottom of crust begins to turn light brown. Remove from oven and turn heat down to 350 degrees F. Place pie on a cookie sheet.

Whip the sweet potatoes in the bowl of a stand mixer until smooth. Add the reserved syrup, buttermilk, eggs, egg yolk, melted butter, and flour; mix until incorporated.

Pour into the pie shell and bake for 60-65 minutes, or until center of pie has set. If crust starts to brown too much, cover pie with a sheet of tin foil.

Garnish with whipped cream and pumpkin pie spice.
