Ingredients

1 ready-made crumpet

1 kg granulated sugar

1 liter of cherry juice

1 kg cherry

For Dressing:

30 gr cream

Recipe

First, put 1 liter of cherry juice and 1 kilo of cherry in the pot and cook with 1 kilo of granulated sugar and prepare the syrup. Wet the ready-made crumpet with drinking water and wait for a while to rise. Make a cross on the knife to make it easier to soak the syrup from the bottom. Take the tray and put it on the stove.  Slowly pour the hot cherry syrup on it. Spread the syrup accumulating on the edge of the tray over the crumpet by using a scoop while cooking. Slice when cooked, turn it upside down on the serving plate and put some cream on it for dressing.
