Made this tonight. Turned out very good. I'd suggest cutting back on the nutmeg slightly. In addition I'd suggest increasing the "topping" measurements. Maybe 3/4 cup of Flour, 3/4 sugar.

This was tasty but the topping did not rise. I realized after reading the recipe again, it calls for self-rising flour, and I used all-purpose flour. Make sure if you are using all-purpose flour, you add a teaspon of baking powder and a 1/4 teaspon of salt for every 1 cup of all-purpose flour!
