Buttermilk Syrup – Barefeet within the Kitchen

Buttermilk Syrup is creamy, wealthy with brown sugar, buttermilk, and butter, and considerably paying homage to caramel. Nonetheless, it isn’t almost as candy as a standard caramel sauce and it’s pure breakfast heaven when poured over a stack of sizzling pancakes.

Selfmade Syrup

Whereas my cousin Hannah was visiting me in Phoenix a number of years in the past, we tried out some new eating places. One of many meals we loved most concerned waffles with buttermilk syrup.

I’ve a weak point for excellent homemade syrup and sauces, as evidenced by the recognition of my grandmother’s Waffle Sauce and this Brown Sugar Syrup. Nonetheless, I’d by no means tasted a buttermilk syrup earlier than that day.

As quickly as we have been house, I advised Hannah we would have liked to determine methods to make Buttermilk Syrup. As you understand, I’m a breakfast all day lengthy type of particular person and I’ll fortunately eat waffles, pancakes, and just about each different breakfast we make at any time of the day.

Buttermilk Syrup

You’ll want the next elements to make this recipe:

• mild brown sugar
• buttermilk
• butter
• vanilla
• baking soda

This mix of elements leads to a candy, wealthy, and barely creamy syrup that’s plate-licking good. The baking soda works to steadiness the acid within the buttermilk. I began with this recipe for buttermilk syrup and have tweaked it to give you this model that we actually love.

I’ve made this syrup with plain milk and it isn’t fairly the identical. And we didn’t find it irresistible as a lot with white sugar both. The buttermilk with out the baking soda leads to a barely tangy syrup that isn’t precisely what I used to be attempting to create.

The syrup will foam and grow to be fairly thick and frothy the longer it simmers. In case you desire it with out the froth, take away the pan from the warmth as quickly because it thickens earlier than the syrup has an opportunity to foam.

Alternatively, you possibly can make the syrup forward of time and permit it to settle earlier than serving. For what it’s value, we like the froth and it doesn’t trouble us a bit.

Buttermilk Syrup Recipe

To make this syrup, begin by combining the brown sugar and buttermilk in a medium-sized saucepan over excessive warmth. Whisk or stir to mix and produce to a boil, stirring typically.

Cut back warmth to low or medium-low and simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring often, till the sugar has dissolved and the syrup has thickened.

Add the butter and stir to soften. Take away from the warmth. Add the vanilla and baking soda. Whisk or stir properly to mix. Let the syrup cool for no less than 10 minutes earlier than serving. Retailer in an hermetic container within the fridge.
