How to Make Buttermilk Syrup

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 cup buttermilk, and 1/2 cup Karo light corn syrup.
  2. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon baking soda and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. The mixture will immediately fizz and almost double in size. Stir gently.
  5. Let the syrup cool slightly, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your desired consistency. (About 5-10 minutes)
  6. Serve warm over your favorite breakfast treats!
