Mushroom Pie

I think everyone who is familiar with the recipes of Israeli cookbook author Shula Modan knows her famous dough made with just three ingredients: sour cream, butter and flour . And if you don’t — no problem. I’m going to tell you all about this wonderful dough. It can be used to make all kinds of delicious dishes: pies, casseroles, cookies, and even cakes. The dough can be made ahead and frozen for later use. Today, I’m making a hearty and delicious mushroom pie inspired by Shula Modan’s recipe
