Finally, a dessert!

Cherry Pudding

This is a great recipe if you need a last minute dessert.  I typically have all the ingredients in my pantry, so it's my go-to when I want something simple without a trip to the grocery store.

1/2 cup butter
1 cup flour
3/4 cup sugar
2 teas. baking powder
salt
3/4 cup milk
1 teas. vanilla
1 16 ounce can pitted tart cherries, drained

Preheat oven to 350.  Place butter in an 8 or 10 inch square baking dish and put in oven until butter is melted.  While it's melting, whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt, in a mixing bowl to combine. Add milk and vanilla and whisk to combine thoroughly.  Pour batter into hot butter in baking dish - do not stir.  Scatter drained cherries on top and sprinkle with a couple additional tablespoons of sugar.  Bake 45 minutes, or until top is lightly browned and batter has pulled away from the sides slightly.  Best when served warm with vanilla ice cream!
