Ingredients
225g plain flour, plus extra for dusting
1 level tbsp icing sugar
125g butter, plus 15g, chilled and cut into small cubes
1 large egg, lightly beaten
600g ASDA Farm Stores cherries
4 tbsp granulated sugar
1 level tbsp cornflour
Method
1
Pre-heat the oven to 190C/170C Fan/Gas 5. Sift the flour, icing sugar and a pinch of salt into a bowl. Rub 125g butter into the flour. Mix half the egg with 2 tbsp water and stir into the mixture with a knife to make a stiff dough, adding a little more water if necessary. Wrap in cling film and chill for 15 minutes. Save the rest of the egg for glazing.
2
Mix the fruit with the sugar and cornflour. Put in a round 20cm pie dish. Dot the rest of the butter over the filling.
3
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pastry to the thickness of a £1 coin. Cut into 1cm-wide strips. Dampen the edge of the dish with water and lay a strip around it. Brush lightly with the remaining egg.
4
Arrange strips in a lattice pattern, pressing the end of each firmly onto the pastry rim. Brush with egg.
5
Put the pie on a baking tray and bake for 30-40 minutes until crisp and golden.
