Ingredients:
- Cherry 1 cup
- Sugar 100-150 grams
- Butter 125 grams
- Wheat flour 250 grams
- Chicken egg 1 beech (+ 1 yolk)
- Starch 2 tbsp. spoons
- Salt pinch
Cooking method:
Step 1. To make shortcrust pastry: pour flour, a pinch of salt into a deep bowl and add very cold butter, cut into small cubes or grated. Knead everything in a uniform crumb with your hands. Beat the egg and knead the dough. Cover the bowl with cling film and refrigerate for at least 45-55 minutes.
Step 2 Wash the cherries, dry them a bit and remove the seeds. Then, take the berries with the help of a crush to make the juice stand out.
Step 3 Pour sugar into a stewpan or pan. Add juice and put on fire.
Step 4 Add starch (it is best to use corn starch in the recipe for cherry pie from shortcrust pastry) and, stirring constantly, boil the syrup over low heat.
Step 5It should thicken and slowly drain from the spoon.
Step 6 Pour the finished syrup to the berries and mix.
Step 7 The dough needs to be rolled out very thinly, put in a mold and sent to the refrigerator for another 10-15 minutes.
Step 8 Cut the remaining dough into thin strips to decorate the cherry pie from the short pastry on top.
Step 9 Put the well-cooled berry onto the dough.
Step 10 From above, braid the stripes of dough.
Step 11Cut the hanging edges.
Step 12 Fill the upper stripes under the base and make indentations with your fingers. This will make the cake even more appetizing.
Step 13 Grease the top with whipped yolk. To complement this simple recipe for cherry pie from shortcrust pastry, you can use sugar with vanilla or cinnamon for flavor, sprinkling it on top.
Step 14 Put the cake in a preheated oven and bake at 180 degrees for about 40-45 minutes until cooked.
Bon Appetit!
