Buttery Maple Syrup

Last week I at a Whiteley Lunch Karalee shared this recipe with me.  She said it was their favorite recipe from their family reunion this summer.  So easy and so good!!  and you don't need to butter your pancakes or french toast with this.  She told us how they got up there and discovered that they didn't bring any forks.  So for their french toast they cut it into strips and served the syrup in a little container and everyone dipped their strips and ate them and everyone thought it was the coolest thing ever.  Good times!!

Buttery Maple Syrup

From the kitchen of Karalee Dobbs

1 cup butter (2 cubes)

1 cup buttermilk

2 cups sugar

Bring these ingredients to a boil in a DEEP saucepan for 2 minutes.

Remove and add:

1 tsp. vanilla

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. maple extract

Stir until combined.

Serves 15-20

*  When the soda is added the mixture will foam and expand.  BE SURE TO USE A DEEP ENOUGH POT.    This syrup can be doubled, no problem, but you must increase the size of the pot.  Bubbling over the top of the pot makes a very sticky mess. J

**  This syrup is better served on a heartier pancake….whole wheat, oatmeal, or other grains, as the syrup is so rich.

I made this from a pinterest post I found.....was the same recipe but without the maple extract.  It was yummy too!
