1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups shortening
1 egg
1/2 cold water
1 tablespoon vinegar

3. Add (2) in (1) and knead till you get soft dough.
4. Divide the dough into 4, make ball shape and wrap with cling wrap. Keep in refrigerator.

Ingredients for the filling
4 tablespoon unsalted butter or margarine
1/2 cups sugar
3 eggs - separate the yolk and white part
1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 cups boiled, mashed sweet potato
1 cup fresh milk

Method:
1) Beat sugar and butter in a bowl. Then add in yolks one by one, and all the spices.
2) Add in mashed sweet potato and fresh milk. Mix well.
3) In another bowl, using electric mixer, beat the white eggs until frothy.

To prepare the Sweet Potato Pie:
1) Roll the pie dough for the base. Fix in the pie dish and poke with fork.
2) Fill in the filling and decorate with your own style. I used the excess dough to decorate my pie.
3) Bake in oven at 175 C for about 40 minutes. However it depends on your oven. I used big oven so I baked for 70 minutes to get the pie filling cooked. To know whether your pie has cooked or not, poke the filling with fork, if the fork dry, then your pie has cooked.
