Homemade Pancake Syrup
Homemade Pancake Syrup blends butter, sugars, and buttermilk with vanilla and cinnamon, then finishes with baking soda to create a rich, creamy syrup. This syrup simulates the texture and flavor of traditional pancake syrup with a buttery sweetness and a hint of spice, suitable for pancakes and waffles. It stores well refrigerated and reheats easily.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1 cup buttermilk (can easily make your own)
- 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, melt butter. Add sugar, buttermilk, vanilla, and cinnamon then whisk to combine. Bring mixture to a full boil, and once boiling, reduce to simmer for 2 minutes while whisking constantly.
- Whisk in baking soda and cook for 30 more seconds, whisking constantly. Mixture will foam and rise.
- Remove from heat and set aside to rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Store leftover pancake syrup in the fridge for up to a month. Reheat in the microwave for a few seconds before serving.
Notes
- This recipe yields about 1 3/4 cups of syrup.
- Store leftover syrup in the refrigerator for up to one month.
- Reheat gently in the microwave for a few seconds before serving to restore pourable consistency.
