Buttermilk Syrup
Smooth and sweet caramel flavored buttermilk syrup!
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter or margarine
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 ½ Tbsp cornstarch
- 1 cup buttermilk or water and vinegar, see note
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp vanilla
Instructions
- Place all ingredients except vanilla in saucepan.
- Bring to a boil over medium heat stirring constantly
- Stir until caramel colored (syrup will expand, then contract).
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
Notes
If you don't keep buttermilk around, use this substitution: for 1 cup buttermilk, use 1 cup milk + 1 tsp vinegar or lemon juice. Allow the milk/vinegar solution to sit for 5 minutes, then use just like buttermilk in your recipe.
The syrup will expand a LOT while cooking. Use a very large saucepan to avoid spill overs.
This recipe halves well. I usually only make half for my family.
