This Traditional Sweet Potato recipe printed in the November 4 edition of Lifestyle omitted water from the list of ingredients. The full recipe is as follows:

TRADITIONAL SWEET POTATO PUDDING

[bul] 1 [2/3] cups flour

[bul] 1 [1/3] cups sugar

[bul] 1 tsp soda

[bul] [1/4] tsp baking powder

[bul] [1/2] tsp salt

[bul] [1/2] tsp each cinnamon, allspice, cloves

[bul] [1/2] cup margarine

[bul] 1 cup mashed, cooked sweet potato

[bul] [1/3] cup water

[bul] 1 egg

Sift all dry ingredients together in a mixing bowl. Add margarine, sweet potato and water. Beat two minutes with electric mixer.

Scrape sides of bowl. Add egg. Beat two minutes more. Place batter in a greased, eight-inch square bake pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 40 minutes. Note: This recipe calls for more flour and less sweet potato, which eliminates the heavy, soggy texture found in the old time recipes. Optional additions: 1 cup chopped dates and [1/2] cup chopped nuts. (What’s Cooking in Bermuda by Betsy Ross).
