Mama thought sour cherries made a better pie than the sweet.
Make Pie Crust: Sift flour with salt. Cut in shortening until the mixture looks like small peas. Add frozen, grated butter and cut in coarsely (makes a flaky crust). Sprinkle mixture with ice water a tablespoon at a time and mix lightly with a fork just until dough comes together. Gather dough into a ball and divide into 2 portions, one just slightly larger than the other. Slightly flatten dough pieces into disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Remove dough from refrigerator and roll out larger portion. on a lightly flour surface, into a large, thin circle. Use as bottom crust and place in 9-inch pie tin. Roll out smaller portion for top crust.
Make Pie: In a large bowl, mix together cherries, sugar, cornstarch, salt and almond flavoring. Line a 9-inch pie tin with pastry, rolled thin. Pour cherry mixture into pastry-lined tin. Top with second pastry. Seal edges of pastry.
Mix together 1 tbsp. milk and 1 tbsp. sugar. Using a pastry brush, glaze pastry with sugar/milk mixture. Cut vents into top pastry layer to let steam escape. Bake in a 425 degree oven until filling is bubbling and pastry is browned, about 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool before cutting. Serve with vanilla or cherry vanilla ice cream.
Makes 6 to 8 servings.
I also like the pie crust recipe right off the Tenderflake lard or Crisco boxes. They are both great too.
