My co-worker made this one year for our Thanksgiving dinner at work. This is the best recipe and it was such a hit. We'll be having this tomorrow. I can't wait!
1/4 C butter
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
3/4 cup sugar (I omit this - I try to cut down on sugar)
3/4 cup buttermilk (I used half & half this time)
Steam yams. Place in mixing bowl with butter and remaining ingredients, and beat thoroughly. Place mixture in buttered casserole dish. Sprinkle with praline topping and bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
Praline Topping
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup pecans, finely chopped
1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup butter, softened
Mix ingredients until thick and crumbly and spread on yams before baking.
