Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Buttermilk
- 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 tablespoon Light corn syrup (optional, for extra smoothness)
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Once melted, add the granulated sugar, buttermilk, and light corn syrup (if using). Stir well to combine.
Continue cooking and stirring frequently until the mixture begins to bubble gently, about 3–5 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and carefully stir in the vanilla extract and baking soda. Be cautious, as the mixture will bubble up significantly.
Allow the syrup to rest for 1–2 minutes until the bubbling subsides.
Pour the syrup into a heat-safe container or serving carafe.
Serve warm over your favorite pancakes, waffles, or desserts. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, and reheat before serving.
