Cherry and strawberry pies
Description
The baked goods are easy and quick to make. You can make these hand pies with your favorite yeast dough. For light, airy dough, do not add all the flour at once or you will overwork it. You can use fresh or frozen berries; if using frozen, thaw them first and drain off the juice. You can use the juice in other dishes. The bake is ready. Serve at the table.
