4 tablespoons sugar
1/8 teaspoon baking powder
a pinch of salt
3 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon bourbon
3 tablespoons pitted cherries, chopped
Optional: whipped cream or ice cream for serving

Mix Wet Ingredients: Add the milk, vegetable oil, and bourbon to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, ensuring there are no dry pockets of flour.
