This classic one from Betty Crocker has very positive reviews. I've never personally made it, but I believe this is the kind my mother always makes that turns out delicious.

You need:
1/4 cup butter or margarine

9 slices pineapple in juice (from 14-oz can), drained
9 maraschino cherries without stems, if desired
1 1/3 cups Gold MedalĀ® all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup shortening
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup milk
1 egg
