Ingredients

For the pastry -

185g plain flour
125g butter (softened)
30g icing sugar
50-65ml ice-cold water

For the filling -

1kg cherries, pitted
150g caster sugar plus extra for dusting

Method

1. Put the flour and the butter in a bowl and use your fingers to rub in until it resembles breadcrumbs.
2. Then stir in the icing sugar and add 50ml of water. Mix to form a dough, adding a little more water if it is not pliable enough. Then wrap the dough in clingfilm and put it in the fridge for 30 minutes.
3. Preheat the oven to 200C/gas mark 6. Put the cherries in a 20cm pie dish and scatter over the sugar.
4. Roll out the pastry into a disc to fit the pie dish – it should be quite thin, about 3mm maximum – so trim it if necessary.
5. Wet the edges of the dish then lay the pastry over the cherries. Use a fork to press the sides so they stick to the dish. Score a cross in the centre with a knife to make a chimney.
6. Bake the pie until the pastry is golden and the contents bubbling – about 20 minutes.
7.Scatter over some caster sugar while the pie is still warm. Serve with custard or vanilla ice cream.
