Buttermilk Syrup

We ran out of maple syrup at our house a few weeks ago. Of course the only time
we think about it is on weekend mornings when we want to eat pancakes or waffles.
This past Sunday morning I made an apple puff pancake. I liked it but it had raisins
and nuts in it so it wasn't a huge hit with the rest of the family.  They all ate it though
and only Pierce picked out the raisins. Anyway we didn't have maple syrup to serve
with it. So I made some homemade maple pancake syrup. This is not that recipe.
BUT it reminded me how much I liked this pancake syrup. Last month a few days
after Myles got home from his mission, Adria went to a breakfast and swim party for all
the girls on the mountain bike team. I agreed to help out.  The woman that hosted the
party made the best buttermilk pancake syrup. So yesterday I sent her a text and asked
for the recipe and she shared it with me! 

1 stick of butter

1 cup sugar

Melt together in a larger pot than you think you need. (When you add the baking soda
it expands.) Add

 ½ cup buttermilk

½ tsp baking soda

Stir constantly and boil 1 minute. After it's done add ½ tsp vanilla.
