Old-Fashioned Sour Cream-Raisin Pie image

Take a page out of grandma's book with this old-fashioned pie that deserves to be pulled out of the archives. As classic as they come, a well-made sour cream-raisin pie is the perfect combination of slightly tart, slightly crunchy. Though many Southerners have a family recipe for this custard pie stashed away, a pinch of this and a handful of that can easily be lost in translation from one generation to the next. We're here to help you with the details. One such tip? Be sure to beat the eggs until they're pale yellow. This will give your pie a boost in body and texture. The result will be a beautiful pie with a nice brown crust and creamy white interior. Finish with some whipped cream or a dollop of crème fraiche for any occasion pie that will be the talk of the party. Guests may even think it's better than grandma's original.

Yield Makes 1 pie

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup raisins
Pastry dough
Pie weights or raw rice for weighting shell
2 large eggs
1 cup sour cream
3/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • In a bowl soak raisins in water to cover by 2 inches at least 8 hours and up to 1 day. Drain raisins in a sieve.
  • On a lightly floured surface with a floured rolling pin roll out dough into a 14-inch round (about 1/8 inch thick) and fit into a 9-inch glass pie plate (1 quart). Trim dough, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang, and crimp edge decoratively. Chill shell until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 425° F.
  • Lightly prick bottom of shell all over with a fork and line shell with foil. Fill foil with pie weights or rice and bake shell in middle of oven 15 minutes. Carefully remove foil and weights or rice and bake shell until golden, about 8 minutes more. Cool shell in pan on a rack.
  • Reduce temperature to 400° F.
  • Separate eggs. Chill whites until ready to use. In a bowl whisk together yolks and sour cream and whisk in 1/2 cup sugar, flour, vanilla, cloves, nutmeg, salt, and raisins. Pour filling into shell and bake in middle of oven 10 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350° F. and bake pie 30 to 40 minutes more, or until filling is set.
  • Remove pie from oven but keep temperature at 350° F. In another bowl with an electric mixer beat whites until they just hold soft peaks. Gradually add remaining 1/4 cup sugar, beating until meringue just holds stiff peaks. Spread meringue over warm pie, covering filling completely and making sure meringue touches shell all the way around.
  • Bake pie in middle of oven until meringue is golden, about 10 minutes. Cool pie on rack and serve at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Make sure the raisins are plump and juicy. If they're dry, soak them in hot water for 10 minutes before adding them to the pie.
  • Use full-fat sour cream for the best flavor and texture. Low-fat or non-fat sour cream will make the pie too thin and runny.
  • Don't overmix the pie filling. Overmixing will make the filling tough.
  • Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. This will take about 45 minutes.
  • Let the pie cool for at least 1 hour before serving. This will allow the filling to firm up.

Conclusion:

Sour cream raisin pie is a delicious and classic dessert that's perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you're a fan of sour cream or raisins, or just looking for a new dessert to try, this pie is sure to please.
