1 stick butter
1 1/3 c. sugar, divided
1 c. sifted flour
1 tsp. baking powder
3/4 c. milk
1 (16 oz.) can pitted sour cherries

Melt the butter in an 8x8 inch baking dish. Cool. Blend 1 cup of sugar, flour and baking powder. Mix in the milk to form a batter. Turn batter into the baking dish.

Mix 1/3 cup sugar with cherries and put on top of batter. The batter will come to the top during baking. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes or until golden. Serves 6-8.
