Caitlin just finished embroidering Addys' pinafore. The only thing we don't hve from Addy's Christmas Story is the Sweet Potato pudding kit. I figured we could at least make the recipe even if we didn't have the AG dishes. Thanks in advance!

Caitlin just finished embroidering Addys' pinafore. The only thing we don't hve from Addy's Christmas Story is the Sweet Potato pudding kit. I figured we could at least make the recipe even if we didn't have the AG dishes. Thanks in advance!
On the front, Addy's mom's version is "handwritten." It says:
Peel and grate three sweet potatoes, pour on them nearly a pint of cold water, add four large spoonfuls of brown sugar, one large spoonful of butter, season with ginger. Bake for about three hours.
On the inside is a modern recipe:
Ingredients:
3 sweet potatoes or yams, boiled until tender
1/3 cup butter
2 tablespoons white sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
pinch of salt
1 egg, well beaten
2/3 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
shortening to grease baking dish
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. When the boiled sweet potatoes are cool, peel them and put them in a large mixing bowl. Mash with a fork.
3. In another large mixing bowl, combine the butter, white sugar, brown sugar, and salt. Beat until creamy.
4. Add the mashed sweet potatoes and stir until well mixed.
5. Slowly add the beaten egg, milk, and vanilla. Beat until well mixed.
6. Sprinkle in the nutmeg and stir.
7. Grease the glass baking dish (12" x 8") and pour in the mixture.
8. Put the baking dish on the lower rack in the oven. Bake at 350 for 45-55 minutes or until set. Allow the pudding to cool before serving.
Thanks, Ann. Can't wait to make this with Caitlin! We've been having so much fun doing crafts today: finished Addy's pinafore, made Kaya's saddle bag, and started a braided rug for Kirsten. Tomorrow she wants to start weaving Josie's blanket. Sure wish they had more crafts kits for the historical AGs. Megan
