This homemade buttermilk syrup is a rich, creamy, and tangy syrup perfect for drizzling over pancakes, waffles, French toast, crepes, or bread pudding. Made with simple ingredients like sugar, buttermilk, butter, and infused with vanilla extract, this syrup offers a deliciously foamy texture and a unique flavor that elevates your breakfast or dessert dishes.

Ingredients

Scale

Buttermilk Syrup Ingredients

  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into 4 chunks
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (or coconut extract, or almond extract)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add the granulated sugar, buttermilk, butter chunks, and salt into a large 3-quart saucepan. Stir the mixture well to combine the ingredients.
  2. Heat and Boil: Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir frequently as the mixture heats up and comes to a boil.
  3. Simmer: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the syrup simmer for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and burning.
  4. Add Baking Soda and Extract: Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly whisk in the baking soda and vanilla extract. The syrup will bubble up and foam significantly, so a large saucepan is necessary to accommodate the expansion.
  5. Finish and Serve: You can serve the syrup immediately while it is foamy, or whisk it for about 30 seconds to reduce the bubbles if you prefer a smoother syrup. Serve warm over your favorite breakfast or dessert options like pancakes, French toast, crepes, waffles, or bread pudding.

Notes

  • Use a large 3-quart or bigger saucepan to avoid overflow when the syrup foams after adding baking soda.
  • For different flavor variations, substitute vanilla extract with coconut or almond extract.
  • The syrup is best served warm for optimal texture and flavor.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and gently reheat before serving.
