      Yield: 5 servings 
  
     16    California dried figs 
      1    No.2 can pie cherries 
      1 ts Cinnamon 
      2 tb Cake flour 
      1 c  Sugar 
      3 tb Butter; melted 
           Biscuit dough 
  
  With scissors, snip off fig stems, and cut figs into small bits.  In a 
  pudding dish, combine figs, cherries and their syrup.  Mix cinnamon, cake 
  flour and sugar together and stir into fruit.  Melt butter and stir into 
  fruit.  Make half the amount of your favorite biscuit recipe - or use 
  biscuit mix - and be sure to add 1 Tbsp. sugar and 1 tsp. cinnamon and 3 
  Tbsps. more milk than the recipe calls for.  Drop biscuit dough from a 
  teaspoon onto the fruit.  Bake in a hot oven (450 F.) for 6 minutes, then 
  lower heat to moderate (350 F.) for about 20 minutes or until cobbler is 
  bubbly and biscuits are quite done.  Serves 5 or 6.  Extra good when 
  served with top milk or cream flavored with cinnamon, vanilla and 
  generously sweetened.
