Ingredients

2 bags (16 ounces each) frozen dark sweet cherries
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup whole milk
Ice cream, for serving (optional)

Steps:

Combine cherries and 1/3 cup sugar in a large skillet. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-high; simmer rapidly until syrupy, 8 to 10 minutes. In a small bowl, combine cinnamon and remaining tablespoon sugar; set aside.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, and salt; gradually stir in milk, mixing just until a wet dough forms.
Reduce heat to medium-low. Spoon tablespoons of dough (you should have about 18) over simmering fruit; sprinkle all with cinnamon-sugar.
Cover skillet; simmer very gently until dumplings are set and dry to the touch, 10 to 12 minutes. Serve warm, with ice cream if desired.
