Cherry Cobbler

I love the fresh fruit of summer time!  Are you enjoying a particular fruit that's in season right now?  I bought some cherries that looked yummy but turned out to be really tart.  I decided to make a cherry cobbler and wanted to share some with you.  Enjoy!

1.  In medium mixing bowl, combine cherries, sugar, and flour.  Pour into 2-quart baking dish.  Set aside.

2.  In medium mixing bowl, combine four, sugar, baking powder, and salt.  With a pastry knife, cut in butter until mixture is crumbly.
