Place cherries in water and cook until tender. Drain liquid; add sugar and almond extract and stir well.
Combine crust ingredients to form dough; roll out very thin. Cut into five or six equal-size pieces. Put 1 teaspoon of cooked cherries onto each piece of dough. Fold over and crimp edges with a fork to close the crust. Fry in a skillet of hot oil, turning to brown on both sides. Drain on paper towels.
Yield: Five to six servings.
Note: You can also brush the pies with butter and bake in the oven at 350° until brown. |
