Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon butter (optional, for richer flavor)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, water, and corn syrup. Stir well to dissolve the sugar.
Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking or scorching.
Once the mixture starts boiling, reduce the heat to medium and let it simmer without stirring for 5-7 minutes. The syrup will begin to thicken slightly.
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and butter (if using) until fully incorporated.
Let the syrup cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. It will thicken as it cools.
Transfer the syrup to a heatproof container for storage. It can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Reheat gently if it thickens too much.
