12 oz frozen tart cherries
1 lemon, zested & juiced
¼ teaspoon white pepper
1 teaspoon almond extract
Biscuit Top
2 cups self rising flour
½ cup sugar
1 cup heavy cream
Turbinado sugar for sprinkling
Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Step 2
In an 11x7 baking dish, combine all of the filling ingredients. Mix well until fully incorporated.
Step 3
In a large bowl, whisk together the self rising flour and sugar.
Stir in the heavy cream until shaggy pieces form. Finish mixing by hand until most of the flour is incorporated, keeping the topping slightly crumbly.
Step 4
Evenly spread the topping over the cherry filling.
Place the baking dish on a tray and bake uncovered for 50 minutes.
Step 5
Cover with foil and continue baking for 10–15 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
Step 6
Let cool for at least 30 minutes before serving.
