Julia Turshen · Small Victories: Recipes, Advice and Hundreds of Ideas for Home Cooking Triumphs

The main small victory here is having a really delicious, incredibly easy dessert up your sleeve. Plus, all you need is one baking dish and one bowl (and a couple of measuring devices). To save on cleanup, I melt the butter right in my measuring glass in the microwave and then just add the buttermilk to it (a very small victory, but a victory nonetheless). The cobbler topping could be used on top of any fruit mixture, and the topping itself can be varied - check out the Spin-Offs for more ideas. One final bit of advice: don't use a smaller baking dish (such as a pie plate) because the filling-topping ratio will be way off. If you don't have a 23-by-33cm (9-by-13in) baking dish, use the largest skillet you have, preferably one that's 30.5cm (12in) in diameter.
