Ingredients
- 1 can cherry pie filling
- 2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup cold butter
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
- In a medium bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, mix together the flour and salt. Grate the cold butter into the flour mixture, then cut it in using a pastry blender or the paddle attachment, until the pieces of butter are no larger than pea sized. Add the buttermilk, and mix until the dough just starts to come together.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently work it into a ball, handling it as little as possible. Divide the dough in half and shape into discs. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap, and refrigerate at least twenty minutes.
- Roll each piece of dough out to a thin and even layer on a lightly floured surface, and cut into six inch circles (I used a bowl for mine). Cut a heart shaped piece of dough out of one side of the circle, or use a knife to make slashes in order to allow steam to escape.
- Spoon two tablespoons of pie filling onto half of the circle, then fold the other half over to close. Next, crimp the edges with a fork to seal.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water, and brush the egg mixture over the top of each pie. Bake at 425 for 15-17 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool before serving.
