Cherry Cobbler 1

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 Tablespoons sugar
• 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
• 1/4 cup butter or margarine
• 6 cups fresh or frozen unsweetened pitted tart red cherries
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 Tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup milk

Directions

Preheat oven to 400° F.

Topping

In a medium bowl stir together flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs; set aside.

Filling

In a large saucepan combine cherries, 1 cup sugar, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened and bubbly. Keep filling hot.

In a small bowl stir together egg and milk. Add to flour mixture, stirring just to moisten. Transfer hot filling to a 2-quart square baking dish. Using a spoon, immediately drop topping into six mounds on top of filling.

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until topping is golden brown.
