Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cherries (pitted, fresh or frozen)
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 1.5 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 0.25 cups Milk
- 1 tablespoon Coarse sugar (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease or spray four 6-ounce ramekins and place them on a baking sheet to catch any drips.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the cherries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and becomes bubbly (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually stir in the milk until just combined. Do not overmix, as the dough should be slightly sticky.
Divide the cherry filling evenly among the prepared ramekins.
Spoon dollops of the biscuit dough over the cherry filling in each ramekin, allowing a little of the filling to peek through around the edges.
If desired, sprinkle the tops of the dough with coarse sugar for added texture and a hint of sweetness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the cherry filling is bubbling around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
