Serves 6-8

750g cherries, pitted and halved
120g granulated sugar
2 tbsp cornflour
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp vanilla extract

For the topping:
130g plain flour
100g granulated sugar
1 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp ground cinnamon
25g cold butter, cut into pieces
100ml cold milk

To serve:
Vanilla ice cream or custard

1. Preheat the oven to 220˚C/200˚C fan/gas mark 7.
2. Combine the cherries, sugar, cornflour, lemon juice and vanilla in a saucepan over a medium heat. Stir and bring to a simmer for about five minutes until the cherries have softened and the mixture has thickened.
3. Transfer the mixture to a 20cm square baking tin.
4. Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon in a mixing bowl.
5. Rub in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually stir in just enough milk to bring the mixture together into a dough.
6. Drop spoonfuls of the dough over the cherry mixture.
7. Bake for 10-15 minutes until the top is golden brown and the mixture is bubbling. Serve with vanilla ice cream or custard.
