For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of melted butter. A dash of nutmeg or cinnamon can add warmth to the pudding. Adjust sweetness to your preference by reducing or increasing the sugar slightly. If self-rising flour isn't available, use 1 cup all-purpose flour plus 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
