We had these AMAZING yams last Thanksgiving, made by the Pittards' cousin. She was kind enough to share the recipe. I went back for seconds, and I never do that with yams!
3 C mashed yams (don't use canned)
2 beaten eggs
1/2 tsp salt
1 C sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 C sugar
1/2 C milk
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
Topping
1 C brown sugar
1/3 C flour
1/4 C butter
1 C chopped pecans
Mix top ingredients together and put in a 9 x 13 pan. Combine topping ingredients and sprinkle on top of yams. Bake at 350 for 30 - 40 min.
