2. Mix flours, sugar, and salt in a medium bowl, until free of lumps.

3. Whisk milk, eggs, and vanilla in a smaller bowl until smooth.

4. Make a well in dry ingredients and add liquid mixture. Whisk gently until butter is just blended. A few lumps are fine.

5. Gently stir nutmeg into butter. Leaving a 1 -inch border around the edge, distribute fruit evenly in prepared pan. Gently pour butter over fruit. Mix brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle over butter.

Converted from Mangia!, Cook's Illustrated 1993-1995 Cookbook NOTES : A pie-size, not-too-sweet popover with fruit, this dessert puffs up crisp and golden on the surface, soft and eggy within. Not only a dessert, this popover can stand in for a muffin at brunch or breakfast.
