My husband and two sons really enjoy this old-time dessert. Besides cooking for them, I'm a hot lunch cook and prepare the main dish for about 1,300 students! Ingredients:
1 can (16 ounces) pitted tart red cherries, undrained |
1-1/2 cup water |
3/4 cup sugar, divided |
1/4 cup butter, divided |
1 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder |
pinch salt |
1/3 cup milk |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
Directions:
1. Place cherries and juice in a large saucepan or Dutch oven along with water, 1/2 cup sugar and 2 tablespoons butter. Simmer for 5 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, sift together flour, baking powder, salt and remaining sugar; place in a bowl. Cut in remaining butter with a pastry blender. Add milk and vanilla.
3. Drop by teaspoonfuls over cherry mixture; cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Yield: 8-10 servings.
