Instructions

1 In a large bowl whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar. Add
the butter, working it in with your hands or a pastry cutter, until it's a
coarse meal. The butter should still be in large, pea-sized pieces. Using a
rubber spatula, stir in the sour cream. The dough will be very shaggy at this
point. Turn it out onto a well floured work surface, and bring it together with
a few quick kneads.
2 Pat the dough into a 10 inch log, then roll it out into a 10" x 12" rectangle.
Dust both sides of the dough lightly with flour, and starting with the shorter
end, fold it in three - like a letter. Flip the dough over, and roll it again
into a 10" x 12" rectangle. Fold it in three again. Wrap the dough in saran
wrap, and chill for 1 hour.
3 Combine all the ingredients in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Simmer,
stirring almost constantly, until the mixture starts to thicken – about 6
minutes. Reduce heat to low and cook for another 2 minutes before removing from
the heat. Transfer to a heatproof bowl and cool to room temperature.
4 Preheat the oven to 425°F. Place a rack on the middle shelf. Line a large baking
sheet with parchment paper, set aside until needed.
5 Roll the dough into a large square that’s about 1/8 of an inch thick. With a
straight edge and pastry wheel, cut out sixteen 3 inch squares. Place squares on
prepared baking sheet. Using a small knife, make three tiny slashes across 8 of
the squares. Fill the other 8 squares with two tablespoons of the cherry
filling, then match up each one with a vented piece of dough. Lightly brush the
edges and tops of each pie and crimp the sides together using a small fork.
6 Bake the pies for 20 to 22 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven,
and cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
