Cherry Cobbler

Back in the '70's, my husband and I visited one of my college friends at her family home in Central New York. They owned many Clydesdale horses and competed with them in driving competitions, including the 6 horse hitch. We went on a wagon ride with 2 huge horses they imported from Scotland. On the way home it started raining and we were soaked. When we arrived back at their house, the mother had this cherry cobbler and hot cocoa ready. I always remember sitting in someone else's robe in a warm kitchen eating this great dessert and sipping hot cocoa.

1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup AP flour
2 teas baking powder
1/4 teas salt
1/2 cup milk
1 can tart cherries, drained, reserving liquid in a cup measure and adding enough water to make full cup
1/2 cup sugar

Cream wet ingredients. Sift together dry. Add dry to wet alternately with milk. Put in greased 8" square pan. Scatter drained cherries over batter. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup sugar. Gently pour juice/water over sugared cherries.

Bake 350 for 50-60 minutes. (It is better to overbake due to all the juice from the cherries.)
Great warm with either ice cream or whipped cream

Spread the word
