To make a cherry pastry, you will typically need the following ingredients: fresh or frozen cherries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and pastry dough (store-bought or homemade). You may also want to have an egg for egg wash and powdered sugar for dusting, if desired.
If you're using fresh cherries, start by washing and pitting them. For frozen cherries, thaw them and drain any excess liquid. Combine the cherries with sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract in a bowl to create the filling.
You can use various types of pastry dough, such as puff pastry, pie crust, or even phyllo dough. Puff pastry will give you a flaky texture, while pie crust offers a more traditional pastry experience. Choose based on your preference and the desired outcome.
Roll out your pastry dough on a floured surface. Cut it into squares or circles, depending on your preferred shape. Place a spoonful of the cherry filling in the center of each piece, then fold and seal the edges by crimping with a fork or pinching with your fingers. Brush the tops with egg wash for a golden finish.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the assembled pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown and puffed. Allow them to cool slightly before serving, and dust with powdered sugar if desired.
