Ingredients 

Pastry

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsalted butter cold and cubed
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup ice water more if needed

Filling

  • 2 cups cherries pitted and halved
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Instructions 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, tossing with a fork until dough holds together when pressed. Divide dough in half. Shape each into a disk; wrap in plastic. Refrigerate 1 hour or overnight.
  3. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one portion of dough to ⅛-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 3-in. round cookie cutter. Repeat with remaining dough, rerolling scraps as necessary.
  4. In a small bowl, combine cherries, sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Spoon 1 tablespoon filling onto the center of half of the circles. Top with remaining circles; press edges with a fork to seal. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Bake 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.
