Ingredients

Scale

1 tablespoon butter

4 cups pitted cherries

1/2 cup sugar

zest of lemon

1/4 cup corn starch

1 1/3 cup all purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

pinch of salt

1 tablespoon sugar

1/4 cup butter, chilled and cubed

1 1/2 cup buttermilk

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

In a small (9 inch) cast iron skillet over medium to low heat, melt the tablespoon of butter and place the cherries, sugar, lemon zest and corn starch in with the butter and combine.

In a medium bowl mix the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar together. Cut in the chilled butter until the butter is pea sized. Add the buttermilk and stir just until combined. Spoon directly onto the cherry mixture and place in the oven for 10-15 minutes. When it’s finished, turn off the oven and turn the broiler on high for a minute to brown the top.
