Ingredients
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 tablespoon Light corn syrup
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, buttermilk, unsalted butter, and light corn syrup.
Step 2
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the mixture occasionally until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves completely.
Step 3
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and allow it to simmer, stirring frequently, for about 7-8 minutes. The mixture should thicken slightly and take on a deep golden caramel color.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from the heat and carefully stir in the baking soda. The syrup will bubble up, so be cautious during this step.
Step 5
Mix in the pure vanilla extract and stir until fully combined.
Step 6
Let the syrup cool slightly before serving. It will thicken more as it cools.
Step 7
Transfer the syrup to a heatproof jar or container for storage. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks and reheat gently before using.
