Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the pure maple syrup and unsalted butter over medium heat.
Stir the mixture gently until the butter has completely melted and is fully incorporated with the syrup, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Lower the heat to medium-low and slowly whisk in the heavy cream, ensuring the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Continue to cook the syrup for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt for balance.
Let the creamy maple syrup cool slightly before serving, as it will thicken as it cools.
Serve warm over pancakes, waffles, or desserts. Store any leftover syrup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
