Ingredients
- Filling
½ cup — white sugar
2 tablespoons — cornstarch
½ teaspoon — ground cinnamon
¾ cup — water
1 (12 ounce) bag — frozen pitted dark sweet cherries, thawed
1 tablespoon — unsalted butter
- Topping
1 cup — all-purpose flour
¼ cup — white sugar
2 teaspoons — baking powder
½ teaspoon — salt
3 tablespoons — shortening
½ cup — milk
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish.
- Combine 1/2 cup sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon in a large saucepan. Stir in water until mixture is smooth. Add cherries and butter to sugar mixture and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring until cherry mixture thickens, about 2 minutes. Pour cherry filling into the prepared baking dish.
- Mix flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Cut in shortening using a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir milk into flour mixture until topping is just moistened. Drop topping by spoonfuls over cherry filling. Sprinkle remaining 2 tablespoons sugar over topping.
- Bake in the preheated oven until topping is golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes.
