For an even richer flavor, consider using salted butter and omitting a pinch of salt. Experiment with different types of rum, such as spiced rum or aged rum, to customize the flavor profile. The batter can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. For a non-alcoholic version, simply omit the rum and use hot apple cider or hot tea instead of hot water.
