Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon light corn syrup
Instructions
- Combine the base ingredients: In a large saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the sugar, buttermilk, and butter until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Bring to a gentle boil: Continue whisking and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Let it boil for 1–2 minutes, whisking constantly.
- Remove from heat: Take the pan off the heat and immediately whisk in the vanilla, baking soda, and corn syrup.
- Whisk until smooth: The syrup will foam up quickly when the baking soda is added. Continue whisking until the foam settles and the syrup is smooth and glossy.
- Serve warm: Pour over waffles, pancakes, or French toast.
Notes
- Use a larger saucepan than you think you need. When the baking soda is added, the syrup will bubble up quickly.
