Tips:

  • For a perfectly flaky crust, use a combination of butter and shortening. Grating the butter and freezing it before adding it to the flour mixture will help create even flakiness.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help prevent the dough from shrinking in the oven.
  • Use a light touch when rolling out the dough. Overworking the dough will make it tough.
  • Trim the excess dough from the edges of the pie plate. This will help prevent the crust from shrinking too much.
  • Dock the bottom of the pie crust with a fork. This will help prevent the crust from bubbling up during baking.
  • Bake the pie in a preheated oven. This will help ensure that the crust cooks evenly.
  • Let the pie cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help prevent the filling from running out.

Conclusion:

Sweet potato caramel pie is a delicious and unique dessert that is perfect for any occasion.
