Filling:
1 cup of blueberries
1 cup of pitted cherries
1/2 cup of water
1 cup of white sugar or to taste
1/2 teaspoon of all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon of butter, melted

Topping:
1 3/4 cups of all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
3 tablespoons of white sugar
5 tablespoons of butter
1 cup of milk
2 teaspoons of sugar

Directions
1) Lightly grease an 8 inch square baking dish. Place blueberries & cherries in baking dish, sprinkle with 1 cup of white sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of flour and 1/2 cup of water, stir in melted butter and mix well together.

2) In a medium bowl, stir in 1 3/4 cups of flour, baking powder, and 3 tablespoon of white sugar. Rub in 5 tablespoons of butter using fingers or a pastry blender until small pieces form. Quickly stir in milk just until moistened. You should have very think batter. Cover. Let rest for 10 minutes.

3) Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spoon batter over the blueberries & cherries.

4) Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. A knife inserted into the topping should come out clean - of course there will be blueberry and cherry syrup on the knife. Let cool until just warm before serving with whipped topping. This can store in the refrigerator for 2 days.
