  • ½ cup milk (or ¼ cup skim milk)
  • ⅓–1 cup white granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon almond extract

Topping

  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • ½ stick (4 tbsp) margarine, melted
  • ¼ cup flour (if using self-rising flour, omit salt and baking powder)
  • ⅛ teaspoon baking powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup chopped pecans

Directions

  1. Mix base and topping ingredients in separate bowls.
  2. Pour the sweet potato mixture into a 9x12-inch pan.
