Ditch The Store-Bought Syrup And

Whip Up A Batch Of Smooth And
Buttery Homemade Buttermilk Syrup!
Pour It Over Pancakes, Waffles, And
Crepes. It Only Takes 5 Ingredients, And
5 Minutes To Make!

Every once in a while, there are special

breakfast recipes that need a special syrup to
go on top. This buttermilk syrup was made
especially to go with our swedish pancakes,
but it’s wonderful over all pancakes, waffles,
and french toast!

HOMEMADE BUTTERMILK
SYRUP

I ain’t gonna lie… Swedish Pancakes can’t be

made without some Homemade Buttermilk
Syrup.

It’s our absolute favorite, and if you’ve had it

before you know why. It’s DELICIOUS!!

We even like to add some cinnamon at times,

especially when we’re making Pumpkin
Pancakes. This syrup is easy to make and only
takes a few minutes. Here is what you’ll need
for it…

HOW TO MAKE
BUTTERMILK SYRUP

5 Ingredients, 5 Minutes – You’ll need these 5

ingredients (yep, only 5!) to make your
homemade buttermilk syrup:

½ cup butter
1 cup sugar
½ cup buttermilk (or for a substitute we do
½ cup milk with 1 tsp. lemon juice)
½ tsp baking soda
1 tsp. vanilla

To make it: Melt butter in a pan on low-

medium heat. Add sugar, buttermilk and vanilla
and mix well. Bring to a boil then add baking
soda and stir until all combined. It only takes
about 5-10 minutes from start to finish! Easy!

(NOTE: Don’t have buttermilk on hand? Just fill

your measuring cup mostly with milk, and add
a teaspoon of lemon juice. )

BUTTERMILK PANCAKE
SYRUP TIPS + VARIATIONS

Tips:

Use a medium to large saucepan to

accommodate for all the foaming.
The longer you simmer it the more it with
froth and thicken. It will also darken in color
and produce a hint of caramel.
Be sure to stir frequently to avoid scorching
the bottom.

Variations:

This buttermilk syrup is delicious as is, but you

can easily change up the flavor by adding ¼
tsp almond or coconut extract or a spice such
as ¼ tsp cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice.

Not only can you change up the flavor you can

be creative on what to pour this syrup over.
Besides the traditional breakfast food you can
also drizzle over Funnel Cake , use as a topping
for Apple Crisp, or pour in a bowl to dip Churro
Bites in.

HOW TO STORE/REHEAT
BUTTERMILK SYRUP

You can store buttermilk syrup in an airtight

container in the fridge for about 2 weeks. You
can even store it in the freezer! So go ahead
and make a double batch and you’ll always
have some on hand when you want it. Thaw in
the fridge before reheating.

To make reheating super easy I like to store the

syrup in mason jars. Simply remove the lid and
microwave for 30-60 seconds. For larger
portions you can reheat in a saucepan on the
stove.
