    Utensils Used
    | 1. Set oven to 400F or gas Mark 6. | 2. Make the pastry- Sift the flour, salt, cornflour and icing sugar into a bowl. | 3. Rub in the mixed lard/margarine and bind into a dough with the egg yolk and water. | 4. Knead the pastry lightly and roll out. | 5. Grease a 9 inch pie dish and line with the rolled out pastry. | 6. Bake blind for 15 minutes. | 7. Reduce oven temperature to 325F or gas Mark 3. | 8. Remove pie shell from oven. | 9. Arrange cherries in the pastry case. | 10. Mix the sugar, eggs and almonds together with the almond essence. | 11. Pour the mixture over the cherries. | 12. Bake for 50- 60 minutes until firm and golden. | 13. Serve hot or cold with cream and/or ice cream. | 14. NB Baking blind is to place s piece of baking paper in the shell, then fill the shell with split peas (or other appropriate filling). | 15. The peas and paper are removed when the shell is cooked. | 16. This causes an even heat to be distributed and at the same time prevents the bottom and the sides of the shell from expanding too much and appearing'lumpy'. | 17. It also helps give the shell a pale colour so that when it is baked later with a filling it does not go black. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
