My mom made this recipe when I was very young. Its cheery color and cinnamon scent make it just right for gray, winter days. Ingredients:
1 can (16 ounces) pitted tart red cherries |
1/2 cup sugar |
2 to 4 tablespoons red cinnamon candies |
2 tablespoons cornstarch |
1/2 cup water |
1-1/2 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
6 tablespoons brown sugar, divided |
1/3 cup chopped nuts |
1/4 cup shortening |
1 egg, beaten |
2 tablespoons milk |
1 tablespoon butter |
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
Directions:
1. Drain cherries, reserving juice. In a saucepan, combine sugar, candies and cornstarch. Stir in water and juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until thickened. Stir in cherries. Pour into an 8-in. square baking pan; set aside.
2. In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, 3 tablespoons brown sugar and nuts. Cut in shortening until crumbly. Add egg and milk; mix until dry ingredients are moistened (add a few drops more milk if necessary).
3. Roll out dough; brush with butter. Combine cinnamon and remaining brown sugar; sprinkle over dough. Roll up; cut into 16 slices. Lay slices over cherry filling. Bake at 400° for 35-30 minutes. Serve warm. Yield: 8 servings.
