 Version 1:  Original recipe makes 1 - 9 inch pie.


 Ingredients:

    1 - pound sweet potato
    1/2 cup butter, softened
    Honey
    1/2 cup milk
    2 eggs
    1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
    1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1 (9 inch) unbaked pie crust

Directions

    Break apart sweet potato in a bowl. Add butter, and mix well with mixer. Stir in honey, milk, eggs, nutmeg, cinnamon and vanilla. Beat on medium speed until mixture is smooth. Pour filling into an unbaked pie crust.
    Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 55 to 60 minutes, or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Pie will puff up like a souffle, and then will sink down as it cools.

    1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
    1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg

Place sweet potatoes in the bowl of a stand mixer and beat with the paddle attachment. Add yogurt, honey, cinnamon, nutmeg, yolks, and salt, to taste, and beat until well combined. Pour this batter into the pie shell and place onto a sheet pan. Sprinkle pecans on top and drizzle with maple syrup.

Bake for 50 to 55 minutes or until the custard reaches 165 to 180 degrees. Remove from oven and cool. Keep refrigerated after cooling.
