Buttermilk Syrup

For all you who aren't into maple syrup, and even if you are, here's one yummy alternative. My husband will not have regular syrup, but this... well, now he's a fan.

1 cube butter or margarine (with the water that margarine has this will give your syrup a more runny consistency - Spencer prefers it that way)
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 cup sugar
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. vanilla

In large saucepan, melt butter. Add buttermilk, sugar, and soda. Boil together 1 minute, stirring often (will expand greatly). Take off stove and add vanilla.

How funny... we had this tonight and I thought about posting it. My mom always made it growing up and I haven't touched maple syrup in years! I also love it on banana splits! SO so YUMMY!

We make this one a lot too. I love it! Especially with fruit on your pancakes/waffles. So there are your three witnesses, if you haven't tried it yet- you should ;)

I have also tweaked it to make maple syrup by using maple flavoring in place of vanilla and water in place of buttermilk.
