Looking for a flavorful and make-ahead dessert to impress your guests at the next holiday gathering? Look no further than this homemade sweet potato cobbler. A beloved staple on Southern tables, this dish offers a perfect blend of gooey cobbler goodness with a hint of crunch, making it an ideal addition to your Thanksgiving feast.
The Sweet Potato Difference
For the ultimate taste and texture, opt for sweet potatoes over yams in this recipe. While the terms “sweet potatoes” and “yams” are often used interchangeably, they are distinct root vegetables originating from different regions. Sweet potatoes, native to Central and South America, boast orange flesh and a pinkish-brown skin, offering a sweeter and creamier consistency when cooked. On the other hand, true yams hail from Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean, featuring white flesh and a bark-like skin, with a drier, starchier texture akin to regular baking potatoes.
Ingredients You'll Need:
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2 tablespoons whipping cream
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced (about 1 1/2 pounds)
For the Crust:
- 1/3 cup butter or margarine
- 1 2/3 cup self-rising flour
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
Streusel Topping
Directions to Prepare Sweet Potato Cobbler:
- Melt 1/2 cup butter in a 10 1/2-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Whisk in whipping cream and the next 5 ingredients. Remove from heat.
- Layer sweet potato slices evenly in the cream mixture. Cover with aluminum foil and place on a baking sheet.
- Bake at 350°F for 20 minutes. Uncover.
- Cut 1/3 cup butter into flour using a fork or pastry blender until crumbly; stir in buttermilk until moistened. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface; knead 3 to 4 times. Pat or roll the dough to a 10 1/2-inch circle; place over the cobbler. Sprinkle with Streusel Topping.
- Bake, uncovered, at 350°F for 25 minutes or until golden.
Indulge in the delightful flavors of this sweet potato cobbler that will surely leave your guests wanting more.

Some believe that holistic medicine is a newer form of medicine. This is simply not true. Even though natural remedies were used in ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome by some healers, it was not scientifically proven.

The two main types of medicine are conventional medicine and complementary/alternative medicine. Conventional medicine relies heavily on drugs and surgery to treat its patients.

Naturopathy on the other side is meant to be used in conjunction with conventional medical procedures. It is a holistic approach to treating the whole body, mind, as well as the spirit. There are many kinds of naturopathy.
It is important to note that some CAM modalities overlap with conventional medicine. Naturopaths and doctors can prescribe herbal remedies. However, naturopaths prefer lifestyle changes to prescription medications.
