Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar (light or dark)
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat until fully liquefied.
Add the pure maple syrup, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt into the pan.
Whisk the mixture until the ingredients are fully combined, and bring it to a gentle simmer.
Let the syrup simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld and the syrup to slightly thicken.
Remove the pan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract for an added layer of flavor.
Allow the syrup to cool for a minute or two, then transfer it to a heat-safe serving container such as a small syrup pitcher.
Serve warm over your favorite pancakes, waffles, or French toast. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
