1/2 cup Milk

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

Drain cherries or peaches, reserving 1/4 cup juice. Discard the

remaining juice. Combine fruit and lemon juice and set aside. In a

saucepan, combine sugars, cornstarch, cinnamon and nutmeg; stir in

reserved fruit juice. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently about 2

minutes. Remove from heat and add fruit and vanilla. If using

cherries, stir in almond extract instead of the vanilla. Pour into an

ungreased 8 inch square baking pan.

For topping, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt; cut in

butter until crumbly. Stir in enough milk to moisten. Drop by

450 for 10 to 13 minutes

or until golden brown.

We like doubling the dough recipe. If you do, bake at 400 degrees F.
