Ingredients

2 bags (16 ounces each) frozen dark sweet cherries

1/3 cup

1 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup whole milk

Cinnamon sugar

Preparation

  1. Combine cherries and 1/3 cup sugar in a large skillet; bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-high and simmer rapidly until syrupy, 8 to 10 minutes.
  2. In a medium bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt; gradually stir in milk, mixing just until a wet dough forms.
  3. Reduce heat to medium-low. Spoon tablespoons of dough (you should have about 18) over simmering cherries; sprinkle liberally with cinnamon-sugar.
  4. Cover skillet; simmer very gently until dumplings are set and dry to the touch, 10 to 12 minutes. Serve warm, with ice cream if desired.
