Heirloom Sour Cream and Raisin Pie

Ingredients

• 5 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch, sifted
• 2 cups milk
• 2/3 cup milk
• 2/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup raisins
• 4 eggs, beaten
• 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup sour cream
• 1 Pre-baked Pie Crust

Directions

1. Crack 4 eggs into a medium size bowl and set aside.
2. In a large saucepan, mix together the cornstarch and 2/3 cup of milk. Turn on the heat to medium-high and add the remaining milk, sugar, salt, and raisins. Stir consistently until the mixture begins to thicken.
3. Start whisking the eggs. Scoop 1/2 cup of the mixture out of the saucepan and use it to temper the eggs by slowly pouring the mixture in. Add the egg mixture into the pan and cook until it reaches a thick, custard-like consistency, whisking constantly. The end result should be a bit thicker than you might be accustomed to as the addition of the sour cream in the next step will thin the filling.
4. Remove from heat and let cool until lukewarm or room temp and whisk in both vanilla and sour cream. Let stand until cool then add it to the pre-baked pie crust. Place in the refrigerator until cooled through, up to 4 hours or preferably overnight, and serve!
