Ingredients
Filling:
-
½ cup white sugar
-
2 tablespoons cornstarch
-
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
¾ cup water
-
1 (12 ounce) bag frozen pitted dark sweet cherries, thawed
-
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Topping:
-
1 cup all-purpose flour
-
¼ cup white sugar
-
2 teaspoons baking powder
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
3 tablespoons shortening
-
½ cup milk
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish.
-
Combine 1/2 cup sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon in a large saucepan. Stir in water until mixture is smooth. Add cherries and butter to sugar mixture and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring until cherry mixture thickens, about 2 minutes. Pour cherry filling into the prepared baking dish.

Mix flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Cut in shortening using a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir milk into flour mixture until topping is just moistened. Drop topping by spoonfuls over cherry filling. Sprinkle remaining 2 tablespoons sugar over topping.

Bake in the preheated oven until topping is golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes.
