For a richer flavor, brown the butter before melting it. Adjust the amount of sugar to your desired sweetness level. Serve with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a drizzle of honey for an extra touch of flavor. Broas are best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
