Description

This Classic Sour Cream Raisin Pie is a nostalgic treat that combines a rich, creamy custard filling with the chewy sweetness of raisins. The filling, made with sour cream, eggs, and vanilla, bakes up into a smooth, tender slice that is neither too heavy nor too sweet. It sits perfectly in a buttery, flaky homemade crust that adds a necessary textural contrast. This dessert is ideal for potlucks, holiday gatherings, or a cozy weeknight family dinner. The subtle hint of nutmeg and salt elevates the simple ingredients, creating a balanced flavor profile that feels both comforting and elegant. Serve it slightly warm or chilled, perhaps with a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch of luxury.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375&# 194;°F (190ðC).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 cup sour cream, 3/4 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg until smooth and well combined.
  3. Fold in 1 cup of raisins, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the filling.
  4. Prepare the crust: In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  5. Cut in 1/3 cup shortening using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse pea-sized crumbs.
  6. Gradually add 3 tablespoons cold milk, mixing gently until a stiff dough forms.
  7. Roll the dough on a lightly floured surface to fit an 8-inch pie tin.
  8. Press the dough into the pie tin, folding the edges under and fluting the rim decoratively.
  9. Pour the raisin-sour cream filling into the prepared pie shell.
  10. Bake in the center of the oven for 40 minutes, or until the center is just set and no longer jiggles.
  11. Allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
  12. Serve slices with an optional dollop of sour cream or whipped cream.
