1/2cupbuttermilk*, see recipe notes for substitute
1cupsugar, granulated
pinch of salt
1teaspoonvanilla, optional
1/2teaspoonbaking soda
Instructions
Heat butter, buttermilk, and sugar and pinch of salt in a saucepan.
Heat until boiling, stirring often. Boil for about 1 minute.
Remove from heat and add vanilla and baking soda. Stir until combined. Serve immediately over pancakes or waffles.
Refrigerate any leftovers.
Notes
Make sure to use a large enough pan. This mixture will bubble and rise a bit more than double in the pan while cooking and when adding the soda at the end.
If you don't have buttermilk, place 1 tablespoon of lemon juice into a 1 cup measure. Then fill to the 1 cup mark with milk or a combination of milk, half and half or cream. Let sit for 5-10 minutes and proceed with recipe directions. This recipe only calls for 1/2 cup of buttermilk, so you will have an extra 1/2 cup of buttermilk leftover.
I have not tried it yet, but I am almost certain this recipe will also work with milk instead of buttermilk!
