on 11/15/2008 This recipe is off a bit. The measurements are accurate. If you follow the directions 'as is' you will come out with a runny mixture of a dough and tarty cherries. We made this tonight and had to add a little more sugar, a LOT more flour to make an actual dough, and, although the instructions talk of mixing everything with BAKING SODA, you actually do not have any baking soda to mix. Make the necessary adjustments and it will come out good enough to eat.
