Add the flour, sour cream, butter, sugar, and salt to a mixer. Beat for 3 minutes at medium speed using the paddle attachment until the dough is integrated; it is important not to overmix to keep your crust crispy. Cover with cling film and refrigerate for 10 minutes. Set aside. For the filling: Beat the eggs, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and ground ginger in a bowl using a whisk. Beat for 5 minutes or until the mixture is frothy. Then add the vanilla extract and corn syrup in a steady stream and continue beating until fully incorporated. Add the walnuts and mix. Set aside.
