Method

Combine the flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, half a teaspoon salt and cinnamon in a large bowl. Combine with the cold butter using your fingers until you reach the consistency of thick breadcrumbs. Stir in the ice water with a fork, just enough so that the dough holds together. Divide dough into two, cover and chill for about 1 hour.
Preheat your oven to 200 degrees C.
On a lightly floured surface, roll half of the dough into a circle large enough to line your pie pan.
In a large bowl, toss together the cherries, cornstarch, 250g sugar and the pinch of salt. Spoon this mixture into the dough lined pie pan and set aside.
On the same lightly floured surface, roll out the remaining half of dough and cut it into 1 cm or half an inch wide strips. Top the cherry mixture in the pie pan with the dough strips, weaving them in and out to make a lattice crust. Brush crust all over with the milk and sprinkle with the remaining sugar.
Bake for about 30 minutes or until brown. Set aside to cool completely before serving.
Heavenly with some whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
