Buttermilk Syrup

1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup butter
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla extract

Heat sugar, buttermilk, and butter in a saucepan over medium heat until the mixture starts to boil, about 5 minutes.

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir baking soda and vanilla into the buttermilk mixture.

Note: Make sure your pan is big enough as the syrup will foam up. Serve this right after you make it because the foam will slowly disappear, and that is the best part of the syrup.

Variations: make a cinnamon syrup by adding 1 tsp. cinnamon, 1 Tbsp huckleberry concentrate, or whatever flavoring you want.
