Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 cup buttermilk
- A pinch of baking soda
- Maple flavoring to taste
Instructions
- Melt butter: In a saucepan over low heat, carefully melt 1 cup of butter until fully liquified without browning.
- Add sugar and buttermilk: Gradually stir in 2 cups of sugar and 1 cup of buttermilk, continuously stirring to dissolve the sugar completely. Ensure the mixture stays warm but does not boil to prevent curdling.
- Add baking soda: Remove the saucepan from heat and sprinkle a pinch of baking soda on top, then stir it in well. The mixture will foam up, creating a light texture.
- Add maple flavoring: Incorporate maple flavoring according to your taste preference, stirring thoroughly for even flavor distribution.
- Cool and store: After mixing, transfer the syrup to a clean container and refrigerate. Serve chilled or warmed as desired.
Notes
- Do not let the syrup boil to avoid curdling due to the buttermilk.
- The baking soda causes the syrup to foam; this is normal and creates the characteristic texture.
- Adjust maple flavoring to your liking for a subtle or pronounced maple taste.
- Store the syrup in the refrigerator and use within two weeks for best freshness.
