3. Combine Ingredients: Add the mashed yams to the cornstarch mixture along with the butter, eggs, sugar, and cinnamon. Mix everything well until thoroughly combined.
4. Bake the Casserole: Pour the mixture into a greased 13×9 glass baking dish, ensuring an even spread. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes.

6. Final Bake: After 20 minutes, remove the casserole from the oven, spread the topping evenly over the surface, and return it to the oven for another 15 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and bubbling slightly.
