I adopted this from the Recipezaar account. The original was called Oh So Good Pie. It called for golden raisins but I use regular ones. I haven't made the Spiked Cream yet but maybe will the next time :)

Steps:
- Make the crust: Sift the flour and salt together into a large bowl.
- Using only your fingertips, pinch the cubes of butter into the flour, breaking up the butter as you go, until no large lumps remain. Shake the bowl to coax the large chunks of butter to the surface.
- Mix the egg yolks and ice water together in a small bowl with a fork until evenly combined.
- Add the liquid to the flour mixture, reserving ¼ or so in case you don't need all of it--you don't want the pastry to be too wet. Quickly mix everything together with a fork until the dough just starts to come together. Add more liquid to the driest parts of the dough if needed. The dough is ready when it holds together in a ball when squeezed in your palm.
- Transfer the dough to a clean surface and bring together in a disc. Wrap the dough disc in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 days.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Lightly flour a clean surface and unwrap the disc of chilled dough. Flour the top of the dough. Start to roll out the dough, turning every few rolls.. If any cracks form, smush them back together. Roll out the dough to a circle about ⅛-inch (3 mm) thick and place into a 9-inch (22 cm) pie dish. Trim any excess dough around the sides, then crimp the edges in a decorative pattern.
- Place a piece of parchment in the center of the pie crust and add the pie weights or dried beans. 9. Bake for 15 minutes, until lightly golden brown.
- Make the filling: In a large bowl, whisk together 1½ cups (185 G) pecans, corn syrup, eggs, sugar, vanilla, melted butter, and salt.
- Carefully lift the parchment with the pie weights from the par-baked pie crust, then pour in the filling. Arrange the remaining ½ cup (62 G) pecans in concentric circles on top.
- Return the pie to the oven for 20 minutes, then cover with a piece of foil and continue baking for 40 minutes, until the filling is completely set. Let the pie cool completely.
- Slice and serve the pie chilled or at room temperature.
- Enjoy!

Tips:
- To make sure the pie crust is flaky, use a food processor to combine the flour, butter, and salt. This will help to create a fine crumb that will produce a flaky crust.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can use a pastry blender or two knives to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- When adding the water to the dough, do so one tablespoon at a time until the dough just comes together. Overworking the dough will make it tough.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help to prevent the dough from shrinking in the oven.
- When rolling out the dough, use a lightly floured surface to prevent the dough from sticking. Roll the dough out to a 12-inch circle.
- Transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie plate and trim the edges. Fold the edges under and crimp them to create a seal.
- Bake the pie crust for 15-20 minutes, or until it is golden brown. Let the crust cool completely before filling it.
- For the filling, combine the sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a medium bowl. Stir in the raisins and pecans.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Add the egg mixture to the raisin-pecan mixture and stir until combined.
- Pour the filling into the cooled pie crust. Bake the pie for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
- Let the pie cool for at least 1 hour before serving.
Conclusion:
This Tipsy Raisin Pecan Pie is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet raisins, crunchy pecans, and a flaky pie crust is sure to please everyone. With a little planning and effort, you can make this pie at home and impress your friends and family.
