Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the mixture. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can substitute it with all-purpose flour and baking powder (1 cup flour + 1.5 tsp baking powder). Chopped pecans or walnuts work well as nut options. Ensure the butter is fully melted for better mixing.
