This cobbler makes great use of frozen cherries. Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 425°F/218°C. MAKE FILLING: Cook all filling ingredients with a pinch of salt in a 2 quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar begins to dissolve, about 3 minutes. Spoon filling into a 9" ceramic or glass pie plate (1" deep). MAKE TOPPING AND BAKE COBBLER: Whisk together flour, 2 ts sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Blend in butter with your fingertips or a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in buttermilk with a fork until just combined (do not overmix). Drop dough in 4 mounds over filling, leaving space between mounds. Sprinkle topping with remaining teaspoon sugar. Bake until topping is golden brown and fruit is bubbling, about 25 minutes. Cool slightly and serve warm. Recipe by Shelley Wiseman June 2004, Gourmet Meal Master Format by Dave Drum - 19 July 2008 Uncle Dirty Dave's Archives MMMMM
