Another easy-peasy recipe. We love to have this one with pumpkin waffles, but it goes great on regular waffles, pancakes, French toast, or from a spoon. (Of course, I would not know that from first hand experience – I would never, ever, dip a spoon into a jar of syrup and lick it off. Ever.)
We make a quadruple batch and I think we might have to go to sextuple, but for normal families, here’s the recipe for one batch.
1 stick butter
1 C sugar
1/2 C buttermilk
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla
Bring butter, sugar and buttermilk to a boil in an extra large pan. Remove from heat and add baking soda and vanilla. Mixture will fizz up A LOT (hence the need for a really big pan – cleaning syrup off the stove is not that fun). Let set, stirring occasionally, until fizz is gone.
PS: I’ve tried it without the baking soda, since that always sounded kinda weird to me but we didn’t like it as well.
