Sweet Dark Cherry Cobbler

• Filling:
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 3/4 cup water
• 1 (12 ounce) bag frozen pitted dark sweet cherries, thawed
• 1 tablespoon butter
• Topping:
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup white sugar, divided
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup milk
• 3 tablespoons shortening

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish.
2. Combine 1/2 cup sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon in a large saucepan; stir in water until mixture is smooth. Add cherries and butter to sugar mixture and bring to a boil; cook and stir until cherry mixture is thickened, about 2 minutes. Pour cherry filling into the prepared baking dish.
3. Mix flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl; cut in shortening using a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir milk into flour mixture until topping is just moistened. Drop topping by spoonfuls over cherry filling; sprinkle remaining 2 tablespoons sugar over topping.
4. Bake in the preheated oven until topping is golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes.
