Sweet cherry pie
Description
Homemade baked goods for tea. Cherries are my absolute favorite berry of all, so during cherry season I buy them almost every day. I collect great cherry recipes, and I really love this cake—my family keeps asking me to make it again and again. The cake keeps well in the refrigerator for a couple of days.

Step 1
1. The recipe uses ready-made shortcrust pastry, but if you'd like to make it yourself, there are many good and simple recipes available on this website. Important: before preparing the pie, chill the shortcrust pastry in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Roll out the chilled dough into a flat layer and place it into a greased baking pan. Gently press the bottom, shape the edges, and trim off any excess dough.

4. Use the remaining dough to make strips and create a "lattice" pattern on the surface of the pie. Secure the ends of the dough strips well.
