Sis' Buttermilk Syrup

1.5 sugar
.75 buttermilk
.50 butter
2 Tlbs corn syrup
1 tsp baking soda

TL’s Notes: Caramel Syrup… the son-in-laws love this one… what’s not to love! This is great on ice cream too!!

Combine these 5 ingredients in a pot much larger than expected to need, bring 7 min. stirring constantly-will froth a lot, remove from heat then add 2 tsp vanilla.

Keep refrigerated until ready to serve, then heat to thin syrup.
