Buttermilk Syrup

This recipe comes from our good friend. It's yummy on everything, but particularly yummy on Ableskivers. I thought it might be a nice addition to Sarah's post.

Ingredients:

1 Cup Buttermilk

1 Cup Sugar

1/2 Cup Butter (1 stick)

1 tsp. Vanilla

1/2 tsp. Baking Soda

Directions:

1. Melt butter in a sauce pan over medium heat

2. Add buttermilk and sugar

3. Whisk to dissolve and bring to a boil

4. Cook for 2-3 minutes, make sure the sugar is dissolved and the syrup has thickened

5. Remove from heat and add vanilla

6. Add baking soda and watch the syrup foam

7. Serve immediately

TIPS: Be sure to use a big enough sauce pan for the syrup to triple in size! The syrup can be reheated for future use. And the syrup can also be kept at a slow-rolling boil if you are waiting for other items to cook, just don't add the baking soda until you are ready to serve.
