Buttermilk Caramel Syrup
November 21, 2011 by 1blackmartha
There have been plenty of times were I have made pancakes and realized soon after they were on the griddle…we had no syrup…really messes up my morning. So to avoid having those kind of moments in the future I made some homemade syrup. Say what?
Yes people…homemade syrup…its easy…and you probably will have all the ingredients on hand.
I will warn you…this syrup is pretty bomb and if your kids are like mine and love all things sweet and delicious then this will not last long in your home at all.

Buttermilk Caramel Syrup
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
1 cup sugar
1 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter*
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla
In a large saucepan or pot, bring buttermilk, sugars, and butter to a boil over medium heat. Remove from heat andwhisk in soda and vanilla. It will bubble up a lot (make sure you us a large saucepan!). Let it cool in the pot and stir it occasionally until bubbles go away. Store in fridge in an airtight container or mason jar up to 2-3 months.
Few notes:
* If you are concerned about the butter content. Instead of using a whole stick of butter you can use half a stick (1/4 cup).
*You could probably cut back on the sugar. Instead of a 1 cup of white sugar. Try 1/2 cup, but keep the 1 cup of light brown sugar.
* This is great with pancakes, waffles, ice cream, cupcakes, cinnamon rolls…whatever you fancy. Enjoy!
