Ingredients

Simple ingredients will be needed for preparation:

  • flour – 200 g;
  • baking powder – 1 tsp;
  • sugar – 140-150 g;
  • eggs – 4 pcs;
  • butter (soft) – 180-200 g;
  • salt – a pinch;
  • vanillin – ½ tsp.
  • cherries – 300-400 g;
  • almonds – a handful.

Preparation

1. First, you need to prepare the cherries. If you have fresh cherries, be sure to remove the pits and place them in a colander to drain excess liquid. If you don't do this, too much cherry juice will hinder the pie from baking well, and the crumb will look raw. You can also use frozen berries for the pie. In this case, the cherries should be placed in a colander to thaw. After that, remove the pits.

2. Prepare the ingredients for the dough. The flour should be sifted in advance to aerate it. The butter should be softened; it should be taken out of the refrigerator at least a couple of hours beforehand.

10. Prepare the baking pan. It can be any ceramic or glass heat-resistant dish or a springform pan for sponge cakes. Since our dough is liquid, it is essential to line the pan with parchment paper. To achieve beautiful folds in the pie, the paper should be lined with pleats. The paper should be greased with oil in advance.

11. We place the dough in the form. To compact the dough, the form should be rotated and lightly tapped on the work surface several times. A wooden skewer should be slightly immersed in the dough and passed over the entire surface.

12. By this time, the liquid from the cherries has already drained, we place the berries on the surface of the dough. They should be placed in a single layer so that the berries do not 'sink' to the bottom.

13. For beauty, the cherries can be sprinkled with nuts; almond flakes will work great. If there are no nuts, it is not essential.
