For an even richer flavor, try using brown butter instead of melted butter. Simply melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, swirling occasionally, until it turns a nutty brown color. Let it cool slightly before adding it to the recipe. If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make a quick substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to a liquid measuring cup, then filling it with milk to the 1-cup line. Let it stand for 5 minutes before using. Chopped nuts, such as pecans or walnuts, can be added to the streusel topping for extra crunch and flavor.
