INGREDIENTS

  • Dough

    • 🧈 ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
    • 🧂 1 ⅓ cups white sugar
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 🥚 1 egg
    • 🌾 4 ½ cups all-purpose flour
    • 2 teaspoons baking powder
    • 🧂 1 teaspoon salt
    • 🥛 ½ cup milk

  • Filling and Glaze

    • 1 (12.5 ounce) can cherry pie filling
    • 🥚 1 egg white (for egg wash)

STEPS

1

Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

2

Beat butter in a separate bowl, then add sugar a little at a time. Add vanilla and beat mixture until it is nice and fluffy. Beat in egg. Stir in flour mixture alternately with milk.

3

Chill dough in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight.

4

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

5

Roll dough out to 1/4-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Cut into 3-inch squares. Spoon about 2 teaspoons of pie filling into the center of each square and fold over to form a triangle. Pinch seams to seal or press with the tines of a fork. Place at least 2 inches apart on a greased baking sheet. Brush with egg white.

6

Bake for 12 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown on the top and bottom.
