SWEET POTATO SOUFLE

this is a family favorite for the holidays.... it has not missed a single thanksgiving dinner with our family since i was a little girl.

2 LB sweet potato

1/2 stick butter

1 CUP sugar

1/2 CUP evaporated milk

2 eggs

1/2 tsp vanilla

1 tsp cinnamon (to taste)

mix all ingredients until well blended and potatoes are fluffy. grease a baking dish and place sweet potatoes in to bake at 350* for 20 minutes.

in the meantime, prepare your topping

3/4 CUP frosted flakes

1/2 CUP brown sugar

1/2 stick butter

1/2 CUP pecans ( i do not use this because of allergies)

melt these ingredients over medium heat in a frying pan. combine well, until brown sugar is melted and frosted flakes are covered. once the sweet potatoes are done baking, pour topping over them and bake for another 15-20 minutes or until browned.
