Dutch Honey Syrup (Vanilla Butter Syrup Recipe)
Description
The Dutch Honey Syrup combines sugar, heavy cream, salted butter, and vanilla extract in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. The mixture is heated to a gentle boil while stirring, then simmered for 5 to 10 minutes until it thickens into a creamy syrup. Adding a small amount of baking soda near the end enhances the syrup's texture and lightness by creating tiny bubbles and preventing crystallization.
The resulting syrup has a rich buttery taste accented by vanilla, with a smooth, pourable consistency. It can be served immediately warm over pancakes, waffles, or desserts, or cooled and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. The syrup also freezes well for longer storage.
Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup butter salted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
Instructions
- In a heavy bottom saucepan, combine the sugar, cream, butter and vanilla extract.
- Heat to a low boil, stirring with a wooden spoon.
- Reduce to simmer and continue to stir until it thickens (about 5-10 minutes). Right before removing from the heat, stir in the baking soda until dissolved.
- Serve immediately or allow to cool and refrigerate.
