Ingredients
  

Main
  • 2 large sweet potatoes
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 3 large eggs, separated
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Peel, cube, and boil sweet potatoes until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  2. Mash sweet potatoes, then mix in butter, sugar, salt, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. Whisk egg yolks with milk and fold into the sweet potato mixture. Beat egg whites with cream of tartar until stiff peaks form, then gently fold in.
  4. Pour into a greased dish or ramekins and bake for 25-30 minutes until puffed and golden.
