Caramel Syrup



The kids wanted waffles, and I was out of cream, so I couldn't make their favorite Dutch honey topping, so I texted Mom for her caramel syrup recipe. She got back to me quickly, so I was able to whip it up in time.
Note: This foams up a lot! So use a large pot even though it makes about 2 cups of syrup. It almost boiled over in my 4 quart pot.

3/4 c. butter
1 1/2 c. sugar
2 Tbsp corn syrup
3/4 c. buttermilk
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp vanilla

In a large pot mix all but the vanilla. Bring to a boil. Stir occasionally. Boil for 7 minutes. It will foam up.
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.

Pretty simple, and delicious!
