Let’s Bake!
Step 1: Prepare the Cherries
If using fresh cherries, pit and halve them. If frozen, thaw and drain excess liquid. Combine cherries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch in a bowl. Mix well and set aside.
Step 2: Make the Topping
In a separate bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until it resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in boiling water until just combined. Don’t overmix!
Step 3: Assemble & Bake
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Pour cherries into a greased baking dish. Drop spoonfuls of topping over the cherries. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
Step 4: Enjoy!
Let cool slightly before serving warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
