Equipment
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup dark brown sugar loosely measured
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a medium-sized pot, which should be larger than you think since the syrup will double or triple in volume, combine brown sugar, granulated sugar, butter, salt, and buttermilk. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the butter melts, the sugar dissolves, and the syrup is smooth. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in baking soda, whisking quickly to dissolve it evenly. The syrup's volume will increase significantly. Finally, stir in vanilla extract.
- Serve warm over breakfast food of your choice. The syrup continues to thicken as it cools.
