BABZY’S CANDIED YAMS

BABZY’S CANDIED YAMS


3-4 lbs. yams (cooked and mashed * see note)
½ cup sugar
1 egg
½ tsp. salt
¼ cup butter ¼ cup milk
1 tsp. vanilla
½ tsp. cinnamon
TOPPING
1/3 cup butter, melted
1 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup flour

In a bowl, mix together the topping ingredients and set aside.

In a separate bowl, combine remaining ingredients and place in a baking dish.
Sprinkle topping over yam mixture and bake, uncovered at 350^ 0r 375^ for 30 minutes.
Note: The dish can be assembled the day before, refrigerates overnight and then baked in the oven for 30-40 minutes.

*To cook the yams, bake in a 400^ oven until soft when pierced with a fork. Place a foil lined baking sheet under them, as they will make a mess. Cooking time depends on size of yams. When yams are cool, peel off skin and then mash.

Yield: 8-10 servings.
