How to Make Cherry Pudding from the 1960's

Step-by-Step

Sift together first four ingredients. Add milk, vanilla, and melted shorting, while whisking vigorously until smooth. Spread dough in greased 8x8x2 inch pan. Arrange drained cherries on top, sprinkle with 1/2 sugar. Heat cherry juice in microwave for 1-1 1/2 minutes, pour over the cherries, and bake in a 375 degree F. oven for 30-40 minutes. Watch closely so it doesn't get too brown.
