Babzy's Candied Yams

Total Time: 40 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 8
• 3 -4 lbs yams (cooked and mashed *see note)
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/3 cup butter, melted
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1/3 cup flour

Recipe

• 1 in a bowl, mix together the topping ingredients and set aside. (note: i'm now gluten free and make this without the flour and it turns out just fine).
• 2 in a separate bowl, combine remaining ingredients and place into a baking dish.
• 3 sprinkle topping over yam mixture and bake, uncovered at 350 or 375 degrees for 30 minutes.
• 4 note: the dish can be assembled the day before, refrigerated overnight and then baked in the oven for 30-45 minutes.
• 5 *to cook the yams, i bake in a 400 degree oven until soft when pierced with a fork. place them on a foil-lined baking sheet in case they leak a bit. cooking time depends on size of yams, but for a few medium-sized yams it usually takes about an hour. let them cool and then just pull the skin off and mash.
