Ingredients
1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon Light Karo Syrup
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
-
Melt the Butter:
-
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
-
-
Add Sugar, Buttermilk, and Karo Syrup:
-
Once the butter is melted, stir in the sugar, buttermilk, and Light Karo Syrup. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring constantly.
-
-
Simmer and Add Baking Soda:
-
Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes while stirring. Add the baking soda and stir quickly. The syrup will bubble and foam, so keep an eye on it.
-
-
Add Vanilla Extract:
-
After the syrup has thickened slightly, remove it from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
-
-
Serve Warm:
-
Let the syrup cool for a few minutes before serving it warm over pancakes, waffles, or French toast. Store leftovers in an airtight container.
-
Notes
The syrup has a rich, pourable consistency. For a thicker syrup, simmer a bit longer.
You can substitute brown sugar for a deeper caramelized flavor.
Reheat leftovers in the microwave or stovetop with a splash of milk or water to restore consistency.
