Buttermilk Caramel Syrup

Lisa R (originally from Linda W)

1 1/2 cups buttermilk
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup butter*
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla

In a large saucepan, bring buttermilk, sugars, and butter to a boil over medium heat. Remove from heat and whisk in soda and vanilla. It will bubble up a lot. As it cools, the bubbles will go away.

*Notes:

-The original recipe calls for 1/2 cup butter. I cut back to 1/4 cup to save calories, but you can feel free to use all of it if you so desire. I won’t stand in your way.

This stuff is so delicious, use with cinnamon bread toast. yummy!  We also use it on buttermilk pancakes, waffles, and German pancakes. It can also be served over ice cream.
