Pour the batter over the cherries and dot the top with butter. (My batter came right up to the rim of the baking dish, so I set it on a rimmed baking sheet before placing it in the middle of the oven; in the end it did not overflow while baking, but I was glad not to have to worry about cleaning up the oven.)

Bake for 25 minutes, until lightly browned and puffy. The center of mine never puffed, but the edges rose dramatically (only to deflate completely during cooling). Cool completely before serving.
