Cherry Pie - a Savory Traditional Recipe Are you looking for a quick and delicious dessert that surprises with its aroma? Cherry pie, with a crispy dough lid, is the perfect choice! This simple dessert will bring the taste of summer to your table, even on cooler days. Preparation time: 20 minutes Baking time: 30 minutes Total time: 50 minutes Number of servings: 8 Ingredients: - 200 g butter (at room temperature) - 200 g powdered sugar - 250 g flour - 60 g starch - 5-6 eggs (depending on their size) - 600 g cherries (pitted) - 1 teaspoon baking powder - 100 ml milk - 30 g butter (for greasing the pan) - 1 tablespoon lemon juice - Vanilla sugar (for dusting) Step by step: 1. Preparing the ingredients: Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature, especially the butter and eggs, to achieve a uniform mixture. 2. Mixing the ingredients: In a large bowl, place the soft butter and powdered sugar. Use a mixer to combine them well until you get a fluffy and homogeneous cream. This step is essential for achieving a fine texture for the pie. 3. Adding the egg yolks: Incorporate the egg yolks one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then add the baking powder dissolved in lemon juice. This combination will help the pie rise beautifully. 4. Flour and milk: The next step is to add the flour and starch, alternating with the milk. Gently mix with a spatula to avoid losing air from the mixture. 5. Beaten egg whites: Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. These will give volume to the pie. Gently fold them into the mixture above using a spatula, with up-and-down motions. 6. Preparing the pan: Grease a pan with butter and dust it with flour. This will help the pie not to stick. 7. Adding the mixture: Pour half of the dough mixture into the pan and level it with a spatula. Add the pitted cherries on top. If you want to cover the pie, now is the time to prepare the additional dough. 8. The dough lid: Mix the remaining ingredients (100 g butter, 100 g flour, 100 g sugar, and 3 eggs) to form a dough. Roll it out and place it over the cherries. Don't forget to make a few slits in the dough lid to allow steam to escape. 9. Baking: Preheat the oven to 180°C and bake the pie for 30 minutes. Check if it is baked by inserting a toothpick – it should come out clean. 10. Finishing: Once baked, let the pie cool slightly, then dust it with powdered sugar mixed with vanilla sugar. This detail will add an elegant look and a sweet taste. Serving suggestion: Cut the pie into portions and serve warm or at room temperature, alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of sour cream. Possible variations: You can replace the cherries with sweet cherries or peaches to explore other flavors. Also, you can add a pinch of cinnamon to the dough for a distinct aromatic note. This cherry pie is not just a dessert but also a way to bring a touch of joy to every meal. Whether you make it for a special occasion or simply to indulge yourself, it will surely be a hit!
