My dad had a restaurant in Kansas City, Kansas in the 30's where he made and served sour cream raisin pie. One of his customers favorite pies in California was the sour cream raisin. I have tried to make it the way he did but have not been totally successful. This is as close as it gets. Everyone I serve it to is at first is "not sure" until they taste it. Make it you won't be disappointed!

It was heavy and too sweet.
