Remove the baking pan with the baked crust from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes. Distribute the cherries evenly over the surface of the crust. Then carefully pour the sour cream and egg mixture over the cherries and sprinkle with the remaining sugar.
Increase the oven temperature to 200°C. Place the pie in the oven and bake for 10 minutes. Then reduce the temperature to 175°C and continue baking for another 30 minutes. After baking, let the pie cool completely in the pan, then refrigerate it for at least 3 hours to allow the filling to set and the pie to achieve the perfect consistency.
Begin making this wonderful pie with the dough. Cut the cold butter into cubes. Sift the flour into a food processor bowl, add the butter, and process until crumbly.
To the resulting oily crumbs, add the egg, sugar, and salt. Mix thoroughly. If the dough seems too dry, you can add 1–2 tablespoons of cold water. Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic.
Remove the dough from the food processor, shape it into a ball, and wrap it tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes to chill thoroughly and become more pliable.
Preheat the oven to 180°C. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a round sheet 4–5 mm thick. Carefully transfer it to a 22–24 cm diameter baking dish, forming edges. Prick the dough with a fork and bake for 10 minutes until lightly golden.
While the crust is baking, prepare the filling. In a large bowl, lightly whisk the eggs with sour cream, lemon juice, 150g of sugar, and salt. Then gradually add the sifted flour and mix thoroughly until a smooth, lump-free consistency is achieved.
