Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1 cup water
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and water.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring continuously until the sugars dissolve completely.
Once the mixture begins to boil, stop stirring and let it simmer for 5 minutes. This allows the syrup to thicken slightly.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the unsalted butter until it is fully melted and incorporated.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in the pure vanilla extract and salt.
Let the syrup cool for 5 minutes. It will thicken as it cools.
Serve warm over pancakes, waffles, or French toast. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Reheat as needed.
