Allspice Sweet Potato Pie Bh G

I found this pie in an edition of bh&g which i recieved during a cookbook swap here on zaar. I really liked the flakey crust and the yummy filling.

Peel and dice sweet potatoes.

Boil until tender , about 20-25 minutes.

Drain and mash with a potato masher.

Put aside.

For the crust: in a big bowl combine flour , sugar , 1 ts allspice and the salt.

Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse sand.

Sprinkle 1 tbs of the ice water over the flour mixture and gently toss with a fork.

Push moistened dough to side of bowl.

Repeat moistening flour mixture , using 1 tbs of ice water at a time , until all mixture is moistened.

Form dough into a ball.

On a lightly floured surface use your hands to slightly flatten the dough.

Roll out into a circle of 12 inches in diameter.

Transfer dough to a 9 inch pie plate.

If you have any extra dough , fold it under.

Crimp edges as desired.

Do not prick the dough.

Preheat oven to 190c / 375f.

For the filling: from your sweet potato mash measure 1 1 / 2 cups.

In a medium bowl combine this , brown sugar , cream , eggs , 1 1 / 2 ts allspice , vanilla , orange peel and salt.

Pour filling .
