Lula Mae Brooks' Cherry Pudding


3 tablespoons butter

2 cups granulated sugar (separated)

1/2 cup sweet milk

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 cup all-purpose flour


Open a can of water-packed cherries and mix 1 cup of sugar with them. Stir until sugar is completely dissolved.

Cream butter and the other cup of sugar in a mixing bowl. Add sweet milk, then flour and baking powder. Mix well.

Pour batter into a buttered deep oven-proof dish. Carefully pour cherry mixture (juice included) over the top

Bake in a moderate (350 degrees) oven until brown.

Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. This is good hot or cold. Refrigerate any left-overs.

If desired, other canned or fresh fruits may be used. Adjust sugar and liquid for the fruit.
