Hagyományos CSERESZNYÉS PITE 🍒🥧 ahogy ÉDESANYÁM készítette👵I Mamakonyhája

I am making a real cherry pie based on my mother's recipe. The pastry is incredibly flaky and it is packed with juicy cherries. Ingredients: For the pastry: 500 g (4 cups) all-purpose flour 250 g (1 cup) cold butter or lard 100 g (1/2 cup) powdered sugar 1 packet of vanilla sugar (or 1 tsp vanilla extract) 1 pinch of salt 1 tsp baking powder 2 egg yolks 2-3 tbsp sour cream (as needed to bind the dough) Grated zest of half a lemon For the filling: 1.5 - 2 kg (3.5 - 4.5 lbs) fresh cherries, pitted Sugar to taste (depending on the sweetness of the fruit) 1 tsp ground cinnamon 2-3 tbsp semolina or breadcrumbs (to soak up the juice) For the top: 1 egg (for brushing) Preparation: Mix the flour with the baking powder, salt, and sugars. Crumble in the cold butter or lard until it reaches a sandy texture. Add the egg yolks, lemon zest, and enough sour cream to form a smooth, pliable dough. Divide into two equal parts and let it rest in the fridge for 30 minutes. Roll out the first half of the dough and place it in a greased baking tray. Sprinkle with semolina or breadcrumbs. Spread the pitted cherries evenly over the dough and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon. Roll out the second half of the dough and place it on top. Prick the top with a fork, brush with the beaten egg, and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 35-40 minutes until golden brown. #cherrypie #traditionalrecipe #hungarianbaking #grandmaskitchen #mamakonyhaja #homemade #flakypastry #cherryseason #recipe
