Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups White sugar
- 1 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Butter
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar and water.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
Once the sugar is fully dissolved, reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 7-8 minutes without stirring. This will allow the syrup to thicken slightly.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and butter until the butter is fully melted and incorporated.
Let the syrup cool slightly, then transfer it to a heat-safe container or serving pitcher.
Serve warm over pancakes, waffles, or biscuits. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Reheat gently before serving.
