Fresh Cherry Pie

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1

   {'id': 'step_0', 'step': 1, 'text': 'Whisk flour and salt together in a bowl. Cut in butter with 2 knives or pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with a fork, until flour mixture is moistened.
