George Washington Cherry Cobbler

• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 3/4 cup water
• 1 package (12 ounces) frozen pitted dark sweet cherries, thawed
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 4 tablespoons sugar, divided
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons shortening
• 1/2 cup 2% milk
• Ice cream, optional

1. In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch and cinnamon. Stir in water until smooth. Add the cherries and butter. Bring to a boil over medium heat; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Pour into an 8-in. square baking dish; set aside.
2. For topping, in a large bowl, combine the flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in milk just until moistened.
3. Drop by spoonfuls over the cherries; sprinkle with remaining sugar. Bake at 400u0b0 for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm with ice cream if desired.
