Ingredients:

1/2 teaspoon almond extract

1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3 tablespoons cold butter, cut into small pieces
1/2 cup buttermilk

makes 4 servings

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Stir almond extract into cherry pie filling. Divide filling among four 6 ounce custard cups.

2. Combine flour, sugar baking powder and baking soda in a small bowl. Cut in butter with pastry blender (or fork) until coarse crumbs form. Stir in buttermilk until a soft dough forms. Divide dough evenly onto cherry filling. Sprinkle each with alomonds.

3 Place filled custard cups in baking pan with sides. Bake until topping is browned and filling is bubbly, 20-25 minutes. Serve warm


If you don't have buttermilk around, use 1 1/2 teaspoons vinegar or lemon juice plus enough milk to measure 1/2 cup. Let stand 5 minutes before using.
