Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup butter Unsalted
  • 1 cup sugar Granulated
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla Pure extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

Equipment

  • Storage Container

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Step 1: Melt the Butter. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the 1/2 cup butter. Make sure not to brown the butter; you want it to be just melted and bubbly.
  2. Step 2: Add Sugar. Once the butter is melted, stir in 1 cup sugar until it is well combined.
  3. Step 3: Mix in Buttermilk. Next, slowly add in 1/2 cup buttermilk, stirring constantly. This will cause the mixture to bubble up, so be cautious!
  4. Step 4: Incorporate Vanilla. Add in 1 teaspoon vanilla and continue to stir the mixture until it comes to a gentle boil.
  5. Step 5: Add Baking Soda. Once boiling, add 1 teaspoon baking soda. This will cause the syrup to foam up, creating a light and fluffy texture.
  6. Step 6: Simmer and Thicken. Reduce the heat to low and let the syrup simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. The syrup will thicken as it cools.
  7. Step 7: Serve and Enjoy! Remove the saucepan from heat and let the syrup cool slightly before serving. Drizzle it over your favorite breakfast dishes and enjoy the deliciousness of To Die For Homemade Buttermilk Syrup!

Notes

  • Be cautious when adding the baking soda; the syrup will foam up and can overflow if the pot is too small.
  • This syrup is best served warm, but it can be stored in the refrigerator for later use.
  • Feel free to experiment with flavor by adding a pinch of cinnamon or a splash of maple extract for a unique twist.
