225 g plain flour plus extra for dusting (optional)
4 tbsp caster sugar plus extra for sprinkling (optional)
3 tbsp milk
400 g cherries halved and pitted
250 ml double cream
1 vanilla pod or 1 tsp vanilla extract
4 egg yolks
80 g caster sugar

Steps

Mix the flour and 4 tablespoons sugar, cut in the cubed butter, and stir in the milk to form a dough.
Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it, and chill it for 30 minutes.
Heat the oven to 375 F and whisk the cream, vanilla, egg yolks, 80 grams sugar, and cornflour until smooth.
Roll the dough into a 12-inch round on a lightly floured surface and place it on a baking sheet.
Arrange the cherries in the center, pour the custard over them, and fold the pastry edge toward the filling.
Sprinkle the pastry with the extra sugar and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until golden and set.
