Cherry Pie

Man, Hungary is awesome. So many homegrown fruits. Make me happy big time.

Here is a cherry pie recipe that I made it using cherries from our own garden 😀

Double Crust

• 2 c of flour
• a pinch of salt
• 2 tsp sugar
• 85-100 g chilled margarine or butter or vegetable shortening
• 6 tbsp ice water (super cold water)

Method

• Mix everything and knead. Chill in the fridge for 20 minutes then divide into 2 portions.
• Roll flat 1 dough and place it on prepared pie pan

Filling

• 1 kg dark sweet cherries, pitted
• 1/2 c sugar
• 1 pouch orange sugar (by Dr. Oetker, if you cannot find it, omit is fine, am just using up stock in my kitchen :))
• 2 tbsp cornstarch
• 2 tbsp lemon juice

Method

• Mix everything

To Make The Pie

• Spoon filling into prepared pie pan
• Roll flat the other dough and cover filling
• Cut some holes for steam to come out during baking
• Brush with beaten egg yolk
• Bake on preheated 350 F until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly
