Tips:

  • To make the perfect raisin pie crust, use a combination of butter and shortening. This will result in a flaky, tender crust that holds its shape well.
  • Be sure to chill the dough before rolling it out. This will help to prevent the dough from shrinking in the oven.
  • When adding the raisins to the pie filling, be sure to toss them with a little bit of flour. This will help to prevent them from clumping together.
  • To get a nice golden brown crust, brush the top of the pie with milk or cream before baking.
  • Allow the pie to cool for at least 1 hour before serving. This will help the filling to set and the flavors to meld together.
