Equipment

Ingredients

  • ½ cup butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ½ cup buttermilk
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Melt butter in a pan on low-medium heat.
  • Add sugar, buttermilk, and vanilla and whisk well. Bring to a boil, add baking soda, and stir until combined.
  • Mixture will get foamy and bubble up when done.

Notes

STORE buttermilk syrup in an airtight container in the fridge for about 2 weeks.
FREEZE. Make a double batch and you'll always have some on hand when you want it. Thaw in the fridge before reheating.
To reheat. To make reheating super easy I like to store the syrup in mason jars. Simply remove the lid and microwave for 30-60 seconds. For larger portions, reheat in a saucepan on the stove.
