Mix flour, sugar, salt and baking powder. Add milk and blend well. Melt the butter in a 2 or 3 quart baking dish.
Pour the batter on top of the melted butter. Heat the cherries in saucepan with ½ cup sugar; add the cinnamon and almond extract and remove from heat and pour over the batter mixture.
Bake about 35 minutes at 350°. You can also use blueberries, peaches or other tart fruit with the same recipe.
