Ingredients

1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup light brown sugar
1 cup water
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
0.25 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and water.

Step 2

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring continuously until the sugars dissolve completely.

Step 3

Once the mixture begins to boil, stop stirring and let it simmer for 5 minutes. This allows the syrup to thicken slightly.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the unsalted butter until it is fully melted and incorporated.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in the pure vanilla extract and salt.

Step 6

Let the syrup cool for 5 minutes. It will thicken as it cools.

Step 7

Serve warm over pancakes, waffles, or French toast. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Reheat as needed.
