How to make it

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Butter a shallow 1 1/2-quart baking dish.
  • Place in the dish:
  • 2 cups pitted sour cherries
  • Sprinkle over the cherries
  • 1/4 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon quick-cooking tapioca
  • In a medium bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups sifted flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 cup sugar
  • Stir to blend well.
  • Cut 1/4 cup unsalted butter or margarine into small chunks and work it into the flour mixture until the mixture resembles tiny nuggets.
  • Add 1/3 cup milk
  • To the flour mixture and stir until the dough is just wet.
  • Drop spoonfuls of dough on top of the cherries and bake in the oven for 30 minutes or until crust is light brown and cherries are bubbling.
  • Let cool and serve.
  • Serves 4 to 6

    This was great, Blueeyes. I told my son, Sam, that I would be making this about a week ago. He finally convinced me, and were we ever happy.
