Ingredients
*Ingredients available at the Saratoga Farmers’ Market
Dough:
● 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for work surface
● 1 Tbsp. granulated sugar
● 1 tsp. kosher salt
● 1 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
● 6-8 Tbsp. ice water, as needed
Filling:
● 2 cups pitted stemmed fresh cherries, halved lengthwise *
● 1/3 cup granulated sugar
● 1 Tbsp. cornstarch
● 1 Tbsp. grated lime zest plus 1 Tbsp. fresh juice (from 1 lime)
Additional ingredients:
● 1 large egg, beaten *
● 2 Tbsp. turbinado sugar or sparkling sugar
Directions
1. Prepare the Dough: Pulse together flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor until combined, about 5 pulses. Add butter cubes; pulse until texture resembles coarse meal, about 10 pulses. Sprinkle mixture with 6 tablespoons ice water; pulse mixture 4 pulses. Add up to 2 additional tablespoons ice water as needed, using 1 tablespoon at a time and pulsing after each addition, until dough just begins to clump together. Transfer to a lightly floured work surface, and knead until it just comes together, about 30 seconds. Shape Dough into a disk, and wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Chill until firm, about 30 minutes.
2. Unwrap chilled Dough, and roll out on a lightly floured work surface to 1/8-inch thickness. Using a 3-inch round cutter, cut out as many rounds as you can. Reroll scraps up to 2 times to make 20 Dough rounds total. Place rounds on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, and refrigerate, uncovered, until ready to use.
3. Prepare the Filling: Stir together cherries, sugar, cornstarch, and lime zest and juice in a medium saucepan. Bring to boil over medium-high; boil, stirring often, until thickened, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat. Transfer saucepan to refrigerator; chill until room temperature, about 1 hour.
