1 cup cherries
3 drops almond extract

3. Crack an egg in a glass measuring cup and mix with a fork
4. Add milk to the glass measuring cup until the 3/4 cup mark. Add almond extract.
5. Mix in the butter with the flour mixture using your hands until the butter is the size of peas. Keep the butter cold!
6. Pour in the milk and egg mixture and stir with a fork just till it sticks together. Add in your cherries and add a bit more milk if it’s still too powdery (do NOT over mix).
