Dear dreamers,
I know it took me so long, but a promise is a promise, so here I am again!
365 days after the first video, here we are with the second one.
Probably is not gonna be what you were expecting, but I like to surprise, and not to be predictable ;)
This is the first episode of this serie.
When the serie is gonna end, you’ll see the second part, of the previous video, the intro of the project.
Yes, as crooked as it seems…!
I promise, and remember what I just said about promises, the next videos are not going to take me one year to be posted…they're coming very soon!
So, hoping y’all stay tuned, here are my wishes, again, for a Happy Halloween, or Samhain!
Here below, the recipe:
* * *CHERRY PIE * * *
INGREDIENTS:
For the dough:
- 350g (12.3 ounces) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tbsp white sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 230g butter (1 cup/2 sticks) very cold! put it in the freezer for 10/15 minutes before cutting and using it)
- 7 tsp iced water
For the cherry filling:
- 1150g (2,5 pound) seedless cherries
- 150g (2/3 cups) sugar, depending on the sweetness you want
- 3 tbsp corn starch
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1/2 lemon juice
- grated zest of half lemon
- 1/2 vanilla pod or 1 tsp vanilla extract
Procedure:
° For the dough:
Cut the butter in small cubes.
Add all ingredients in a bowl.
Use a fork to mix it. Not your hands, until the very end.
The dough has to stay as cold as possible.
Add the cold water, spoon by spoon so.
It doesn’t have to be a uniform dough. You have to see butter chunks in it.
Use your hands to create a ball.
Put it in the fridge for 15 minutes.
Take it out, cut it in two, press the ball to obtain two thick discs.
WRAP THEM IN PLASTIC!
Put them in the fridge for 45 to 60 minutes.
° For the cherry filling:
Wash the cherries.
Remove all the seeds, trying not to break the cherries.
Put them in a bowl.
Add all the filling ingredients and mix.
Let it rest for 30 minutes or so, until you get the amazing cherry juice, to die for!
The more they rest, the more you’ll have!
Put it on the stove on medium heat, keep stirring, until it becomes a pretty thick sirup.
° Pie making:
Take a pie baking tray, and butter it.
Take the dough discs out of the fridge.
Using a pastry board, sprinkled with flour, thin the discs until they can overhang the border of the tray.
Put the first in the tray, and slowly press it until it gets in the corners of it.
You can easily do this, by flouring a rolling pin, and rolling the dough loosely around it, then unroll it gently into the tray.
Fill with an even layer of cherries.
(You can choose to add the sirup in the big pies, or keep it for the small pie that you will probably able to make with some remaining dough. Like I did in the video. ;) )
Both versions are delicious! With sirup is gonna be sweeter!
Put some butter flakes on top pf the cherries.
Place the second crust, and gently press it.
Using your knuckles, close the pie, crimping the edges.
Then make the 5 traditional pie slits on the crust, to let steam escape while baking,and sprinkle it with brown sugar!
Pre-heat the oven on 220°C/425°F (I used 200°C because my oven is small and it gets very hot quickly).
Better to put the pie in the lower third of the oven.
Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 190°C/375°F and keep baking fro 40 minutes more or less (depending on your oven) until the crust become golden brown and the juice is bubbling through the slits.
!If it starts browning too much, before it burns (!) put a loose layer of foil to cover the edges!
Then your damn good Cherry Pie is ready!
But before eating it, let it rest&cool for few hours, or even better for one day!
Keep it in the fridge for few days.
To enjoy it warm, put it again in the pre-heat oven, for 10 minutes.
I avoid microwave, to keep the flaky crust, crispy!
Enjoy, and I’ll see you in the next Episode of my Aesthetic cooking in Twin Peaks!
