How to Make Cherries With Cinnamon Dumplings

  1. In a large skillet (10-12 inch), combine 3 cups fresh or frozen cherries (pitted) and 1/3 cup granulated sugar.
  2. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally.
  3. Reduce heat to medium-high and simmer rapidly for 5-7 minutes, or until the cherries have released their juices and the mixture is syrupy.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon and 1 teaspoon granulated sugar. Set aside.
  5. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  6. Gradually whisk in 3/4 cup milk until a wet, lumpy dough forms. Do not overmix.
  7. Reduce heat under the cherries to medium-low. Drop spoonfuls (about 1 tablespoon each) of the batter onto the simmering cherries, leaving some space between each dumpling.
  8. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar evenly over the dumplings.
  9. Cover the skillet and simmer gently for 10-15 minutes, or until the dumplings are cooked through and dry to the touch.
  10. Serve warm. A scoop of vanilla ice cream is the perfect complement!
