1. 1

   The Topping: In an 8-inch round stove top cake pan, or in a small saucepan, melt the butter and stir in the sugar. Stir until the sugar melts, and remove the pan from the heat. If you've made the syrup in a saucepan, transfer it to an 8-inch round cake pan. Toss the pears and nutmeg together, and arrange the pears in a circular pattern atop the sugar syrup. (Be careful not to burn your fingers!) Set aside.

2. 2

   The Cake: In a small mixing bowl, combine the flour and baking powder. In a separate bowl, beat together the milk, eggs, and butter. Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Spread the batter over the pears, using a spatula; the batter will be quite stiff.
