Ingredients:
1/2 cup margarine
1 cup flour
3/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup water or 1 cup milk
1 can cherries in syrup or 1 can cherries in juice ( preferably depitted)
Directions:
Melt the margarine and pour into a Pyrex baking dish, about 8 inches square.
You can also melt this directly into the Pyrex dish in the microwave.
Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder and water.
Pour this on top of the melted margarine.
DO NOT MIX!
Pour the cherries and their syrup on top of this batter.
DO NOT MIX!
Bake in a 350 degree F oven for 1 hour.
The cherries will sink to the bottom, the crust will rise to the top.
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
I’ve also done this with canned plum (depitted first), canned fruit cocktail, canned blueberries.
It’s so simple and tastes great!
