Butter Maple Syrup
Description
This Butter Maple Syrup recipe combines butter with both brown and white sugars, milk, and honey, which are boiled together then flavored with baking soda and maple extract off the heat. The baking soda causes the mixture to bubble and foam vigorously, creating a light texture once it settles. The boiling step concentrates the sugars and melds the ingredients into a smooth syrup.
The milk adds creaminess and body, while the combination of sugars and honey deliver a complex sweetness paired with the distinct maple extract flavor. This syrup can be served warm or cold and stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container, where it will keep well. Reheating and stirring helps to restore its smooth consistency.
The recipe requires a sufficiently large saucepan to accommodate foaming during baking soda addition and a rolling boil, which takes roughly five minutes to achieve before the brief two-minute boil used in the recipe itself.
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter one stick
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup white sugar
- ½ cup milk
- 1 tablespoon honey
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon maple extract
Instructions
- Add butter, sugars, milk, and honey to a 2.5-quart saucepan (see note).
- Bring to a rolling boil (see note) and boil for 2 minutes.
- Off heat, add baking soda and maple extract.
- Whisk to mix together, the syrup will bubble and foam vigorously.
- Let rest for a few minutes to let the foam settle down.
- Serve warm or cold.
- Store in an airtight container (like a mason jar) in the fridge, reheating and stirring before use to melt and combine.
Notes
- Use a 2.5-quart saucepan or larger to safely accommodate foaming during the baking soda step.
- Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, which means it keeps boiling even when stirred; this typically takes about five minutes before timing the two-minute boil.
- Store the syrup in an airtight container in the fridge and reheat with stirring before serving to combine ingredients smoothly.
