Jamie Oliver's Sweet Potato Pie

sweet pastry recipe (recipe follows)

lbs large sweet potatoes

unsalted butter

sugar

all-purpose flour

nutmeg

cinnamon

vanilla extract

eggs

For the clementine cream:

heavy cream (or natural yogurt

Zest and juice of 3 clementines

For garnish (optional): 4 clementines

peeled and sliced into rounds

For the sweet pastry:

confectioners sugar

orange (optional)

Make your pastry: You can make your pastry like this by hand, or pulse it in a food processor

From a height, sift your flour and confectioners sugar into a large mixing bowl

Using your fingertips, gently work the cubes of butter into the flour and sugar until the mixture resembles bread crumbs

If using orange or vanilla for extra flavor, either finely grate in the zest of your orange or add the seeds from the vanilla pod and mix again

Add the egg and milk to the mixture and gently work it together using your hands until you have a ball of dough

Remember not to work the pasty too much at this stage or it will become elastic and chewy, not crumbly and short

Sprinkle a little flour over the dough and on a clean worktop, and pat the ball into a flat round about 1 inch thick

Sprinkle over a little more flour, then wrap the dough in plastic wrap and pop it into the refrigerator to rest for at least 30 minutes

Get yourself a 9 1/2-inch nonstick loose-bottomed tart or quiche pan (approx

1 1/4 inch deep) and, using a splash of vegetable oil on a paper towel, lightly oil the inside

While the crust is in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, pierce your sweet potatoes with a fork, lay them on a sheet pan, and pop them into the oven-theyll need about 50 minutes to an hour, until theyre soft and cooked through

When theyre ready, take them out of the oven and turn the temperature down to 350F

While the potatoes are in the oven, dust a clean surface and a rolling pin with flour, then carefully roll out your pastry, turning it every so often, until its just under 1/4-inch thick

Carefully roll your pastry around the rolling pin, then unroll it carefully over your oiled pan

Ease the pastry into the pan, making sure you push it into all the sides

Trim off any excess by running a knife along the top of the pie crust, then prick the base of the pie crust all over with a fork and pop it into the freezer for 30 minutes

Get yourself a large square piece of parchment paper, scrunch it up, then unwrap it and use it to line your pie crust, pushing it right into the sides

Fill the pie crust right up to the top with rice, and bake blind for 10 minutes in your preheated oven

Take the pie crust out, carefully remove the rice and parchment paper (you can save the rice to you for blind baking another time), then return the crust to the oven to cook for a further 10 minutes, until its firm and almost cookie like

While the pie crust is in the oven, peel the skins from the roasted sweet potatoes and discard

Put the flesh into a large bowl and mash it up

Melt your butter in a saucepan on a low heat and add it to the sweet potato with the sugar, flour, nutmeg, a large pinch of cinnamon, and the vanilla extract

Whisk 2 eggs in a separate bowl, pour them into the mixture, then mash everything together until completely combined

Spoon your sweet potato mixture into the cooled pie crust, and use a fork or spoon to spread it out evenly

Dust a clean surface and a rolling pin with flour and roll out your leftover pastry (plus any bits that you trimmed off the sides)

Cut it into long strips, a bit longer than the width of your pie

Drape these strips over the top, crisscrossing them as you go so you get a nice lattice design on the top

Tidy up the sides, then beat your remaining egg and brush it over the pastry

Put the pie into the oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, until gorgeous and golden

Make your Clementine cream just before serving by whipping the cream, Clementine zest and juice, and sugar together until youve got soft peaks

Take your pie out of the oven and let it cool for about 25 minutes before serving with the clementine cream

Lovely with a few sliced of clementine on the side

PS: If youre looking for something different to make at Christmas, try making individual ones instead of your regular mince pies
