Latticed Cherry Pie

Instructions

Mix the flour and salt together in a bowl.  Cut the butter and shortening into the flour with two forks or a pastry blender until half of the mixture resembles cornmeal and the other half has 1/8" to 1/4" pieces.  Combine the water and vinegar, sprinkle over the top and toss the dough lightly with a fork to moisten it evenly.  Gather it into a ball.  Divide the dough into 2 balls.  Do not work the dough too much or knead.  Wrap the dough in plastic and chill for 4 to 24 hours.

Roll one ball of dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12" circle 1/8" thick.  Fold the dough in half and then into quarters or roll it around the rolling pin and transfer the dough to a 9" pie plate.  Freeze for 30 minutes.

Preheat an oven to 400°F.

In the meantime, toss the cherries, sugar, flour and Kirsch together.  Place the cherries in the frozen dough.  Top with a woven lattice topping.  In a small bowl, whisk together the yolk and milk and with a pastry brush, brush the top of the crust.  Bake on the lower shelf of the oven until the juices bubble thickly between the lattice and the tip is golden, 1 to 1 /4 hours.  Cool for 1 hour before serving.

To serve, cut into wedges and serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
