Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon light corn syrup (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and buttermilk.
Step 2
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir continuously until the butter is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
Step 3
Once the mixture starts to bubble, reduce the heat to low and simmer gently for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the vanilla extract and baking soda. The syrup will foam up slightly—this is normal and gives the syrup a light and airy texture.
Step 5
If desired, stir in the light corn syrup for added smoothness and shine.
Step 6
Let the syrup cool for a few minutes before serving. The syrup will thicken slightly as it cools.
Step 7
Transfer any leftovers to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 1 week. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave before serving.
