In a large bowl, combine cherries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Pour into a 9-inch baking dish.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in milk until just combined.
Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the cherry filling.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra special treat!
