Tips:

  • For a flakier crust, use a pastry blender or two forks to cut the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Use a light hand when mixing the dough to avoid overworking it. Overworked dough will be tough and chewy.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help the dough to hold its shape and prevent it from shrinking in the oven.
  • When rolling out the dough, use a light dusting of flour to prevent it from sticking to the rolling pin or counter.
  • Trim the edges of the dough evenly before baking. This will help the pie to have a clean, professional look.
  • Bake the pie in a preheated oven. This will help the crust to cook evenly.
  • When baking the pie, place a baking sheet on the rack below the pie to catch any drips.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will help the filling to set and the crust to firm up.

Conclusion:

Grandma's Sour Cream Raisin Pie is a classic dessert that is sure to please everyone at your table. With its flaky crust, creamy filling, and sweet-tart raisins, this pie is a perfect way to end any meal. Whether you're a seasoned baker or a novice in the kitchen, this recipe is easy to follow and will yield delicious results.
