- ½ cup (113 g/4 oz) butter
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
Instructions
- Butter Infusion: Preheat oven to 275°F and melt butter directly in a 9×13-inch baking dish, creating a rich foundational layer.
- Batter Composition: Whisk flour, sugar, and baking powder in a mixing bowl, then seamlessly incorporate milk until just combined, maintaining a delicate consistency.
- Strategic Layering: Pour batter gently over melted butter without stirring, allowing the two elements to coexist naturally in the baking dish.
- Cherry Cascade: Evenly spread cherry pie filling across the surface, ensuring complete coverage and promising a vibrant fruity experience.

Notes
- Butter Placement Technique: Pour melted butter into the baking dish before adding batter to create a crispy, golden bottom crust that adds delightful texture.
- Batter Mixing Tip: Avoid over-mixing the batter to prevent a tough, dense texture; stir just until ingredients are combined for a light, tender result.
- Temperature Transition: The initial low temperature helps melt butter evenly, while the temperature increase ensures proper baking and caramelization.
- Filling Distribution Trick: Spread cherry filling gently across the batter without stirring, allowing natural layering that creates beautiful marbling and flavor integration.
