Small Cherry Pies

You can use your muffin pan for something different than muffins, check this out:

Ingredients (12  cups):

• 2,5 cups flour 
• 1 tea spoon salt
• 4 tea spoons sugar
• 1 tea spoon lime juice
• 1 cup cold butter

• 1kg cherries
• 1/2 cup sugar
• rest of the lime juice
• 1 table spoon corn starch in 1 table spoon water

1) Put all the dough ingredients in a food processor (cut the butter in smaller pieces to speed the process) and pulse it till the butter creates small lumps. Combine the dough with your hands and wrap it in a foil and leave it in a fridge for an hour.

2) Meanwhile, get rid of the stems and pits in your cherries and put the cherries in a pot. Put the sugar in, pour in the lime juice and cook for ten minutes. Then bring to a boil and add in the starch mixed with water. Stir it in and remove from heat. Let it cool a little.

3) Cut circles in your dough and line the muffin tin with them - the circle should be big enough so that it reaches the top of each muffin cup. No baking paper or buttering needed, this dough doesn't stick. 

4) Pour in your cherry jam. Cover with another layer of dough.

5) Bake at 180°C till golden (about 20 minutes).
