Buttermilk Caramel Syrup

I wanted waffles this morning but was out of both regular maple syrup and coconut extract to make coconut syrup. What to do? I found this recipe on Pinterest and decided to give it a try. It's quite similar to the coconut syrup recipe except for the addition of brown sugar and vanilla. I only added half the amount of butter called for and it still turned out delicious. I'll definitely be making this again.

Buttermilk  Caramel Syrup

1 1/2 cups buttermilk
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup butter*
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla

 

In a large saucepan, bring buttermilk, sugars, and butter to a boil over medium heat. Remove from heat and whisk in soda and vanilla. It will bubble up a lot. Hopefully you used a large saucepan. As it cools, the bubbles will go away.
