Buttermilk Syrup Recipe - Bursting with creamy richness and a hint of tangy sweetness, this irresistible syrup is the perfect companion to elevate your breakfast or brunch game. Drizzle it over fluffy pancakes, golden waffles, or warm French toast for a decadent treat that will have everyone asking for seconds.
In a large saucepan, melt butter. Add buttermilk and sugars. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
Remove from heat and whisk in baking soda and vanilla extract. It will bubble up and double in size. The bubbles will go away as it cools.
Store in the refrigerator. It will keep for about a month.
Notes:
What is a buttermilk substitute? To make homemade buttermilk, combine 1 cup of milk with 1 Tbsp of white vinegar or lemon juice. Let stand for 5 minutes or until the milk starts to curdle.
Make sure to use a very large pot to make the syrup. When you add the baking soda to the hot sugar mixture, it will bubble up and at least double in size. You don't want that all over your stove!
Variations/Additions:
orange extract
coconut extract
rum extract
cinnamon
nutmeg
pumpkin spice
kosher salt to taste
Store the syrup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a month.
