- Reprinted without permission from the Target
-
- 2c Sour Cream
- 4 Egg Yolks
- 1 3/4c Sugar
- 4tsp Flour(heaping)
- 1 1/2c Raisins
-
- 1 baked 10-inch single-crust pie shell
- Meringue
- Yields 1 (10-inch) pie
-
- "Stir the sour cream and yolks in a heavy medium saucepan. Add the
- sugar. Dump in the flour, then rains, and mix using a wooden spoon.
- Cook over medium heat until the raisins are plump and the filling is
- glossy (about 5 minutes after a full boil, or just a little longer,
- depending on your burner).
-
- "Cool the filling slightly, then pour into the cool crust. Preheat
- oven to 400. Prepare meringue and spread onto pie. Put the pie in the
- oven. Watch closely for 15 to 20 minutes, then take it out when the
- peaks are golden brown. Let it cool. Eat immediately or keep in a
- cool room. Do not refrigerate unless keeping it overnight."
-
- Meringue: Place 12 medium egg whites in bowl. Add 1/4 heaping teaspoon
- cream of tartar. Beat until stiff, using an electric mixer on high
- speed. Add 2 cups powdered sugar and beat until meringue forms soft
- peaks. Using a "licker" (a rubber spatula), spread onto pie filling,
- making a good seal with the edge of the crust. The person who does
- this recipe says that large eggs don't do well with this - she uses
- small eggs...
-
- I hope this is the recipe that the person on rec.food.cooking was
- looking for. I c an't say how this recipe works - as I haven't used
- it - however, this recipes is from the cookbook written by Helen Myhre
- who owns the Norske Nook in Osseo, Wisconsin... Apparently this cafe
- came into national recognition a while back - Willard Scott ate there
- as well as Charles Kuralt... She claims that her recipes are just
- plain farm cooking.
