2cup/ 300g Rice flour
15tablespoon/ 200g Butterunsalted
1Egg
1tablespoonAgave syrup or sweetener choice
1teaspoonBaking powderfollow instruction on packaging
Filling:
1lb/ 500g Cherries
1teaspoonCinnamonground
2tablespoonCorn starch
½cup/ 100ml water
Kitchen Utensils:
Ø10" / Ø26cm Baking tray
Instructions
Start the process with the filling. Put cherries, water and cinnamon into a medium size saucepan and heat it up.
On medium heat cook it for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Put the corn starch into a cup with 4 tablespoons of water and mix until incorporated well then pour some more water into the cup so it could be handled easier.
Pour corn starch into the cherry "jam" whilst stirring it continuously. Cornstarch will give the cherry a nice texture to work with.
Take it off the heat when it hardens.
Set oven onto 350°F / 180°C.
Prepare pie tray with parchment paper.
Put all ingredients in a medium size mixing bowl and work it together by hand until getting an even dough.
Take dough out of the bowl onto a lightly floured surface and divide it into two pieces. The bigger part is about 2/3 and the smaller is 1/3 of the dough. Make two dough balls out of them.
Start working with the bigger one.
Put it on the floured surface and roll it flat into shape of circle. Flouring underneath the dough is important as this coating will prevent it to stick down.
Roll the dough into the form and size of our baking tray.
Place the rolled out dough onto the tray, fit or tweak it if needed.
Put the cherry filling on top.
Use the rest of the dough to decorate by rolling out noodles and putting them across the top.
