Cherry Cobbler

Ingredients

1 1/4 cups plus 1 tablespoon sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
4 cups fresh red tart pitted cherries
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1 cup sifted flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons Roberts Butter
1/2 cup Roberts Milk
Roberts Half and Half

Preparation

In a saucepan, combine 1 1/4 cups sugar and cornstarch; stir in cherries and almond extract. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and boils; boil and stir 1 minute. Pour mixture into a 2 quart baking dish; place in a preheated 400° oven. Measure flour, baking powder, salt and remaining sugar in a bowl; stir together well. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse meal; add milk and blend well. Mix until dough forms a smooth ball. Drop dough by spoonfuls onto hot fruit. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until topping is nicely browned. Serve warm with half and half.
