Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 375F.
- Add the butter to the pie dish and watch while melts, then remove it and allow it to cool to room temperature. Use a pastry brush to spread the left over butter across the pie dish.
- Add the flour, salt, and sugar to your mixing bowl and stir until they are fully blended. Â (In a hurry? Â You can whiz through the prep by adding everything to a food processor and blitzing one step at a time).
- Add the eggs and butter to the dry mix, and stir until smooth.
- Slowly add the milk, cherry syrup and vanilla to the batter, and stir until very smooth.
- Blanket the bottom of the pan with fresh cherries, and then pour the batter across the top.
- Â Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked all the way through. Once fully cooked, removed it from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature before dusting with sugar.
You will notice that while it cools it will shrink and deflate, that happens, and is all part of its rustic charm.
