  • Preparation: 85 min
  • Cooking: 33 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (150 g)
  • Difficulty: Medium
  • Diets: Vegetarian
  • Contains: dairy, egg, gluten

Ingredients

  • 35 g Flour, all-purpose
  • 10 g Butter, unsalted
  • 18 g Sugar
  • 0.8 g Yeast, active dry
  • 15 g Milk, whole
  • 8 g Eggs, whole, raw
  • 60 g Cherries, sour
  • 3 g Cornstarch

Method

  1. Makes 1 slice; multiply by 12 for a whole vlaai. Warm the milk, dissolve the yeast and a little of the sugar in it, and leave 10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Mix the flour, remaining sugar, egg and the yeast milk with the butter into a smooth dough; knead 8 minutes, then let rise for 1 hour until doubled.
  3. Press the dough into a flat, low-sided tart tin, leaving a slightly raised rim, and let rest 15 minutes.
  4. Toss the cherries with the cornstarch and spread them over the dough.
  5. Bake at 190 °C (375 °F) for 30-35 minutes until the crust is golden and the fruit is bubbling.
  6. Cool before slicing, as the filling sets further as it cools.
