Many years ago when we moved to Bakersfield we fortunate to become friends with Dot. Dot is one very talented lady. She is also a great cook-- especially the good old home cooked comfort foods!! One day Dot made us some of this syrup. Holy Moly... it is the better syrup we had ever had in our lives!! And thus began a great Wagdogz tradition! We love to have this syrup (especially with whole wheat pancakes) whenever we have a special occasion, or whenever we make up a special occasion so that we can have it!! Ha!
A diet syrup it is not, just so you know. But the crazy amount of butter is worth it and we always justify it by adding the whole wheat pancakes ;) We especially love this breakfast when we are camping! Somehow it even tastes better when eaten amongst the pine trees! Enjoy
Dot's Buttermilk Syrup:
2 cups sugar
1 cup butter (2 cubes)
1 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon light Karo syrup
Combine these four ingredients in a large pot on the stove. Boil for 5 minutes stirring constantly. Remove from heat and add:
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon baking soda
This mixture will bubble up and become foamy (thus the need for a large pot!). Serve immediately.
The syrup can be stored and reheated, but I think it is always best when fresh. :)
