To Make the Pie Crust

Step 1

Heap the flour onto a clean surface, then make a well in the center. Add the cubed butter, egg, salt, and sugar into the well and using the tips of your fingers rub the ingredients together until you have a grainy texture.

Step 2

Add the cold milk and mix again until the dough starts to stick together. Knead it a few times until smooth.

Step 3

Divide into two, shape into disks and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to 1 hour.

To Make the Filling

In a large bowl, mix together the cherries, lemon juice, vanilla and almond extract, Tate & Lyle Pure Cane Caster Sugar and cornflour. Place in the fridge.

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 190C (fan).

Step 2

Roll out one of the chilled dough disks into large circle, about 10' in diameter. Carefully transfer the dough into a baking dish, pressing it gently around the edges. Trim off any excess dough.

Step 3

Spoon the filling into the pie crust (discard the juices). Add a tablespoon of cubed butter on top.

Step 4

Roll out the second chilled pie dough disk into a large circle and using a sharp knife, pizza cutter or pastry wheel, cut out 10 strips from the dough.

Step 5

Arrange the strips into a lattice pattern on top. Trim off any excess dough and press the edges gently together.

Step 6

Brush the pie with egg wash and sprinkle with Demerara sugar.

Step 7

Bake the pie for 20 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 180C and bake it for another 30-35 minutes, until golden brown. Allow the pie to cool before serving, with a little vanilla ice cream.

🍪 One cookie to rule them all…
During the visit to Comptoir, we came across a giant cookie that stopped us in our tracks. Think golden edges, gooey centre, and serious snack envy.
