Instructions

Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to fully preheat while you prepare the pie filling.In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and continue cooking until it turns golden brown and gives off a rich, nutty aroma. Stir often to prevent burning. Once browned, remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly. Place the cooked sweet potatoes into a large mixing bowl. Using a hand mixer, beat until smooth and creamy, making sure there are no lumps. Pour the browned butter into the mashed sweet potatoes, then add the eggs. Continue mixing until everything is well combined. Add the sugar, milk, vanilla extract, flour, salt, and spices (such as cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger). Mix until the batter is silky and uniform. Evenly divide the filling between the unbaked pie crusts. Smooth the tops with a spatula for an even finish. Place the pies in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour, or until the centers are set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Remove the pies from the oven and place them on a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. Serve as is, or top with whipped cream for an extra treat.
