Add 2 ounces of butter to the mixture.

Stir in 4 tablespoons of sugar and a pinch of salt.

Add 1 tablespoon of cayenne pepper to the mixture for heat.

Incorporate 1 tablespoon of browning to achieve a rich dark color.

Mix all ingredients together until well combined.

Check the consistency of the mixture; if it seems stiff, add water until it is loose and swimming in water.

Preheat the oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit.

Pour the mixture into a baking dish and ensure there is water surrounding it.

Bake the pudding for at least an hour.

After baking, let the pudding set for a few moments before slicing.
