Tips:
- To make a flaky crust, use cold butter and work it into the flour quickly. If the butter is too warm, it will melt and make the crust tough.
- If you don't have a rolling pin, you can use a wine bottle or even a glass to roll out the dough.
- To prevent the crust from shrinking, chill it for at least 30 minutes before baking.
- Line the pie plate with parchment paper to make cleanup easier.
- Bake the pie in a preheated oven. This will help the crust to cook evenly.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld.
Conclusion:
Raisin sour cream pie is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its sweet and tangy filling, flaky crust, and creamy topping, this pie is sure to be a hit.
