Butter eight 8 oz. ramekins. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine butter and brown sugar in saucepan and heat over medium heat until combined, divide into bottoms of ramekins. Place 4-5 slices of nectarine in each ramekin.
Cream 1/2 c. butter, sugar and orange zest, add eggs and vanilla, mix to combine. Mix dry ingredients together, add alternately with buttermilk. Divide batter into ramekins.
