Buttermilk Syrup

Oh Buttermilk Syrup. I love this stuff. It makes such a great addition to the Buttermilk Pancake recipe I shared earlier. I first had this recipe at my sisters house and instantly fell in love with it. We make this every time we have extra buttermilk sitting in the fridge, and never regret it. The flavor of this syrup is way different then that of regular maple syrup. It almost has a bit of a caramel(ish) flavor, and is very rich...and heavenly.
If you are looking for something different to try on your waffles or pancakes, give this a try. You won't regret it.


1 stick butter
1 cup sugar
2 TBSP white corn syrup
1 cup buttermilk
-----------------------
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. vanilla

1. Add butter to a medium sized pan and turn heat to medium.
2. When butter is melted, reduce heat to medium-low heat and add the sugar, corn syrup, and buttermilk.
3. Allow mixture to come to a boil and whisk constantly for 2 minutes.
4. Add the baking soda and allow to continue to boil for another 5 or so minutes, this will thicken the syrup.
5. When it has reached your desired consistency, add the vanilla and remove the syrup from the heat.

**Randi's Side Notes**
~ The longer you let it boil with the baking soda, the thicker your syrup will be, so the timing on that portion of the recipe will be completely up to your preference on how you like your syrup.
