Cherry Cobbler Recipe

Ingredients:

– **For the filling:**
– 4 cups fresh or frozen cherries, pitted
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1 tablespoon cornstarch
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 tablespoon lemon juice

– **For the topping:**
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup milk
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

 Instructions:

1. **Preheat your oven** to 350°F (175°C).

2. **Prepare the filling:**
– In a large saucepan, combine the cherries, 1 cup of sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and lemon juice.
– Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and bubbles. Remove from heat and set aside.

3. **Prepare the topping:**
– In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 cup of sugar, baking powder, and salt.
– Add the milk and melted butter to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. The batter will be thick.

4. **Assemble the cobbler:**
– Pour the cherry filling into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
– Drop the batter by spoonfuls over the cherry filling. It doesn’t need to cover the entire filling; it will spread as it bakes.

5. **Bake:**
– Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

6. **Serve:**
– Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if desired.

Feel free to adjust the sweetness according to your taste. Enjoy your homemade cherry cobbler!
