### 👩🍳 How to Make Cherry Cobbler
#### 1. **Preheat & Prepare**
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a medium-sized baking dish.
#### 2. **Make the Filling**
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine cherries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla, and salt. Stir until the mixture thickens slightly — about 5–7 minutes. Pour into your prepared dish.
#### 3. **Make the Topping**
In a bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a fork or pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the milk and stir until just combined.
#### 4. **Assemble**
Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit topping over the cherry mixture. It doesn’t have to cover it completely — the juices will bubble up around the edges for that signature cobbler look. Sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.
#### 5. **Bake**
Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the topping is golden and the filling is bubbly. Let cool slightly before serving.
