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.
