Ingredients
  • 1 deep dish pie shell
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp cloves
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup seedless raisins
  • 1 Tbsp flour
  • 3 egg whites
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 F (180 C)
  2. Mix together sugar, spices, salt, egg yolks and sour cream. *The original recipe touts the value of real unpasteurized cream that's gone sour but mentions that, in a pinch, commercial sour cream will do :) *
  3. Sprinkle raisins with the flour and add to the sour cream mix.
  4. Pour into the shell and bake about 25 minutes (insert a knife; if it comes out clean then the custard is set).
  5. Just before the custard is done beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  6. Mix 2 Tbsp. of the remaining sugar with the cinnamon and add to the egg whites, beating together until glossy and stiff.
  7. Fold the balance of the sugar into the egg whites.
  8. Spread egg whites over the hot custard , return to the oven and brown lightly.
