My friend John Willoughby found this recipe in a Southern boardinghouse decades ago. The topping is somewhere between a biscuit and a cookie: fluffy, tender, buttery, and slightly sweet. I love this with blueberries, but you can make it with any fruit you like. Top with ice cream or whipped cream.

Makes: 6 to 8 servings
