Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F).
-
In a saucepan, combine cherries, milk, sugar, and vanilla extract. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. If using, stir in cornstarch. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
-
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Pour the cherry mixture into a 20cm (8-inch) baking dish.
-
Sprinkle the biscuit topping evenly over the cherry mixture.
-
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
-
Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Note
- For a richer flavor, use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar.
- You can add a tablespoon of bourbon or rum to the cherry mixture for an adult twist.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
