Sweet Dark Cherry Cobbler

Ingredients

• white sugar (0.5 cup)
• cornstarch (2 tablespoons)
• ground cinnamon (0.5 teaspoon)
• water (0.75 cup)
• frozen pitted dark sweet cherries (1 bag)
• unsalted butter (1 tablespoon)
• all-purpose flour (1 cup)
• white sugar (0.25 cup)
• baking powder (2 teaspoons)
• salt (0.5 teaspoon)
• shortening (3 tablespoons)
• milk (0.5 cup)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Bake in the preheated oven until topping is golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes.
