Note

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.

If buttermilk is unavailable, substitute with milk mixed with 1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice or vinegar.

For a stronger ginger flavor, use freshly grated ginger instead of ground ginger.

Ensure the pan is well-greased to prevent sticking, as the sugar crust can adhere firmly.
