By jab120638

This is a classic, no-frills cherry cobbler. Fresh cherries are best if they're available, and don't skimp on the butter.

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 cup boiling water
• 3 1/2 cups fresh cherries, pitted
• 3/4 cup white sugar

Preparation

Step 1

Mix 3/4 cup sugar, butter or margarine, flour, salt, baking powder, and milk together. Place cherries in the bottom of a 9 inch square pan. Spread dough over cherries.

In a small bowl, combine 1 cup sugar and cornstarch. Stir in boiling water. Pour mixture over the dough.

Bake at 350°F for 45 minutes. Serve warm.
