Buttermilk Syrup

This syrup is fantastic for French toast, German pancakes, waffles, or even ice cream. It has a caramel flavor to it, and is just super delicious.

Buttermilk Syrup
1 1/2 cups sugar
3/4 cup milk + 1/2 TBS vinegar
1/2 cup butter
2 TBS corn syrup
1 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. vanilla extract

Measure milk and put vinegar in it, let sit for 5 minutes to create buttermilk (or just use 3/4 cup buttermilk if you have it on hand). The milk mixture will be a bit lumpy. In a saucepan combine milk mixture, sugar, butter, corn syrup and baking soda. Boil for 7 minutes, stirring occasionally. It will seem very foamy as it boils, just make sure it doesn't overflow, it's quite messy. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Serve warm, and store the leftover in the fridge. When it's just Scott and I, I usually half the recipe and it's plenty.
