Two and one-half cups of sifted flour,
Two tablespoons of baking powder,
One teaspoon of salt,
One-half cup of sugar.

Sift to mix. Now rub in one-half cup of shortening and mix to a dough
with three-quarters cup of water. Roll out one-quarter inch thick and
fill with the prepared cherries. Roll as for jelly roll and then
place in a well-greased and floured pan. Bake in a moderate oven for
thirty-five minutes, basting every ten minutes with syrup made from

One-half cup of brown sugar,
Three-quarters cup of boiling water.

To prepare the cherries: Stone two pounds of cherries and place in a
saucepan and add

One cup of brown sugar,
Four tablespoons of water.

Cook slowly until the cherries are soft and then add

Two tablespoons of cornstarch dissolved in
Three tablespoons of water.

Bring to a boil and cook for five minutes. Cool and use. This mixture
must be very thick.
