Homemade Buttermilk Syrup Recipe

Prep Time: 10 min 
Cook Time: 5 minutes 
Serves 7

Syrup Ingredients

  • 2 c. sugar

  • 1 c. buttermilk

  • 1/2 c. butter or margarine

  • 2 tsp. light corn syrup

  • 2 tsp. vanilla

  • 1 tsp. baking soda 

Instructions

1. Bring sugar, butter, buttermilk, and corn syrup to a boil in a large saucepan over medium-low heat.

2. Let boil for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon. (I usually let it boil for the full 5 minutes, but if you want a thinner syrup you should only let the mixture boil for around 1 minute).

3. Remove from heat and add baking soda & vanilla. Stir.

4. Serve warm over pancakes, waffles or even ice cream. You'll be tempted to eat it plain it's THAT good. ;)

Notes: 

- I love pairing this with whipped cream, strawberries, raspberries, & blueberries to add something patriotic to celebrate!

- The original recipe was half of this one, but it makes a very small amount. We always double it to feed the whole family! (And to make room for seconds, because trust me - everyone will want seconds!)

- It also saves super well, so put it in the fridge & you can enjoy this syrup for days to come! 

We hope you love this recipe as much as we do. It is the perfect touch for a festive breakfast or a breakfast for dinner kind of day! You can throw this together so quickly & get back to remembering your loved ones this Memorial Day. If you make this recipe make sure to tag us @ivycityco on social media! Have the sweetest Memorial Day!
