1/2 c. sugar
1/3 c. butter
1/2 c. milk
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
3/4 c. flour
1 to 1 1/2 c. cherries, drained
1 c. sugar
1 c. boiling water

Mix sugar, butter, milk, baking powder, salt and flour. Put in greased 8-inch casserole. Put cherries on top of batter; dot with butter and add 1 cup sugar. Pour boiling water over all.

Bake at 350°F for about 35 minutes. Cherries will to to bottom and form a sauce. (I usually double this and put in 9 x 13 pan.) Serve with ice cream.
