Cherry Cobbler With Cornbread Biscuits - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (14 ounce) package frozen dark sweet cherries, unsweetened and pitted
1/4 cup orange juice
2 teaspoons cornstarch
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons cornmeal
1 tablespoon sugar
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
4 teaspoons unsalted butter
1 egg white
2 tablespoons milk

Preparation

Coat 4 10-oz custard cups or individual baking dishes with nonstick cooking spray.
For the filling, in a medium saucepan, combine cherries, orange juice and cornstarch. Let stand 20 minutes.
For topping, in a medium bowl, stir together flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt, nutmeg and allspice. Using a pastry blender (or fingers), cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Make a well in middle of cornmeal mixture; set aside.
Cook and stir the filling mixture over medium heat until thickened and bubbly.
Preheat oven to 400\u00b0F.
Divide filling mixture evenly among the 4 prepared cups or dishes.
In a small bowl beat egg white and milk with a fork until well mixed. Pour into the well in the cornmeal mixture, all at once. Using a fork, stir until just moistened. Spoon a mound of this mixture onto each cup or dish of hot filling mixture.
Bake for 15 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in topping comes out clean.
Serve warm.
