We had my grandma’s most sought recipe for buttermilk syrup whenever we visited. This is always a great treat, and one of my favorite meals is French toast with this syrup!
| Prep Time: | 5 mins |
| Cook Time: | 5 mins |
| Total Time: | 10 mins |
| Servings: | 6 |
Ingredients
- 1 cup white sugar
- ½ cup buttermilk
- ½ cup butter
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Heat sugar, buttermilk, and butter in a saucepan over medium heat until the mixture starts to boil, about 5 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and stir baking soda and vanilla into the buttermilk mixture.
- Make sure your pan is big enough as the syrup will foam up.
- Serve this right after you make it because the foam will slowly disappear, and that is the best part of the syrup.

Words are inadequate, but fabulous will have to do! Doubled it (except baking soda) and used DIY “buttermilk” (1T vinegar and milk to the 1 cup line). I could drink it!! Thinking of many other ways to use it. Thank you.
Amazing! there is not one person that has had it said they did not love it.
This was so delicious. I made this recipe and every other recipe and I liked this one the best. It definitely deserves that 5 star rating.
It was great
Best topping ever! Put it on a sourdough breakfast casserole. Amazing!
I give this recipe a 5 star!!! After seeing how a large company was selling a Butter Syrup…I went looking for recipes. I have been making this for a couple of months now each Sunday I make a double batch…so my husband can have it the rest of the week. It is so much better than regular syrup. Thank you for sharing your recipes. Easy to make and works every time!!!! Store in the fridge in a mason jar !!! So much cheaper to make your own!!!
This is absolutely a great recipe! For those who tried this, they should try the buttermilk pie! So good!
I just made it, but will use vanilla paste instead of extract next time. It just needs a bit more flavor. I had never heard of it before having it at the Abracadabra Restaurant in Idaho Falls, ID while traveling last month. It was a revelation to this East Coast senior!!
The best syrup in the world! Left overs tend to crystallize when stored in the fridge. Found that thinning the leftovers with milk or buttermilk after using on German pancake keeps it from crystalizing. Use it on ice cream, cake, use your imagination
Easy and so delicious
I made this for the first time today and we absolutely loved. I will always have some in my fridge. Now we can’t imagine anything else on our pancakes.
yum
Amazing I made Ham and y Cornflour Hot Cakes. I added a Tablespoon of Honey to the Syrup
This recipe is good as it gets. Try it on a bread pudding, yum, or any where else for that matter.
i love maple syrup so went into this not thinking too much of it… i dont think i can go back to maple im in love! i think i might need help now
My goto recipe for syrup that’s delicious with French toast, waffles and pancakes!
I have always been a pure Maple Syrup fan but thought this recipe sounded interesting and, after reading the reviews, I had to try it. I was not disappointed. I made the syrup using the exact ingredients but altered the prep a bit. I first melted the butter in a 1 1/2 Quart sauce pan. Then I added the sugar and cooked a bit to try and get it dissolved. I then added the buttermilk and simmered until the sugar was completely dissolved. I then removed from the heat and added the baking soda and vanilla. The syrup will foam quite a bit so use a fairly deep sauce pan. I poured this over Chef John’s French Toast and the combination was fabulous! I have enough leftover for several more breakfasts and I will savor every drop. Thanks for sharing this excellent recipe!
Perfect just the way it is! Kids and adults loved it.
This yielded a golden syrup that was reminiscent of the frosting on a German chocolate cake (minus the coconut and pecans). It was thick, rich, and gooey with a vanilla flavor. I really liked it, but my husband didn’t and opted for maple syrup instead. I ate it on AR Truckstop Pancakes and it was quite good. I recommend making it before the pancakes so it has time to thicken up before use.
I followed the recipe exactly as stated. It was FABULOUS!! I’ll never use store bought syrup again. I regret that I couldn’t give it 10 stars.
THE BEST PANCAKE SYRUP!!! My family loves it. Stores well. I have it in an old pancake syrup bottle. I’ll never buy that again!
