This was so delicious and a big hit with everybody! I was a little nervous because the preparation was not exactly fool-proof. When the directions stated to cut in butter until "crumbly", I felt that was too vague. I cut in the butter until it was the size of peas, When I added the sour cream mixture, the dough was really sticky and hard to spread in the pan. I really needed to keep flouring my hands to work with it and press it evenly into the pan. I did not sprinkle 1/3 cup sugar on top, but more like 3 tablespoons, because I didn't want it to be too sweet. Needless to say, I was worried that I hadn't done everything correctly, so I was quite pleased when I removed this from the oven and it was wonderful! It was perfectly sweet and delicious both warm and cold. I will definitely try this again. Thanks for sharing. Made for Spring PAC 2012.

I'm a RETIRED high school administrator. I love to cook and my husband is a patient taste tester for me (poor baby)! Very lucky he is not a picky eater! We have an awesome son and daughter-in-law but unfortunately they live in Los Angeles so not much physical visiting. Lots of phone calls though! ? I love collecting cookbooks (drives my husband crazy), logo golf balls, and salt & pepper shakers (thanks to getting started with the old recipezaar swaps!). Recipezaar/Food.com has been a fantastic site for me. I have learned a ton at this site and really enjoy all of the forums (I think I'm getting addicted to the Swaps!!) My next big challenge is to learn how to put photographs on of the dishes I am making. Suggestions are definitely invited!!
