Ingredients
Filling
- 2 ½ lb pitted sweet cherries, fresh or frozen
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp cornstarch (1 ½ tbsp if using frozen cherries)
- ⅛ tsp kosher salt
- ½ cup (70 g) granulated sugar
Topping
- 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp lemon zest
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- 6 tbsp (85 g) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup (35 g) granulated sugar
Directions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Have a 9x13-inch baking dish ready.
Make the filling.
Toss the cherries with the lemon juice, cornstarch, and salt in a large bowl, then spread them in the baking dish. If using frozen cherries, set the dish in the preheating oven to thaw a little while you make the topping.
Make the topping.
Whisk the flour, baking powder, lemon zest, and salt with a fork, then rub in the butter until the mixture is coarse and sandy. Whisk the milk and vanilla together and work them in with a fork to make a thick batter, somewhere between biscuit dough and pancake batter.
Top and bake.
Drop about 9 large scoops of batter over the cherries; they will spread as they bake. Bake for about 40 minutes (about 15 minutes longer for frozen cherries), until the topping is golden and the juices bubble all over.
Serve warm.
Spoon into bowls while still warm, with vanilla ice cream if you like.
Best on the day it's made. Refrigerate leftovers covered and reheat in the microwave for about 1 minute.
Before you indulge
Use Miracle Berry
Just before eating, take 2–3 freeze-dried halves. Chew gently and let them linger for about 30 seconds.
Discard any pit if necessary.
