For a richer flavor, try using brown butter instead of regular butter. Add a sprinkle of chopped pecans or walnuts for extra crunch. A pinch of nutmeg or cloves can enhance the warm spice notes. To plump raisins, soak them in warm water for at least 15 minutes. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
