Sweet Simplicity

There are moments in life that are SO sweet you wish you could stop time, right?

This could cover a multitude of things.. birthdays, graduations, marriages, trips, giving birth to a child, or enjoying a sweet, simple syrup... 

Since my last post, Todd went to San Francisco for work and I headed out there when he finished so we could spend some time together.

Todd, I, Who doesn't really love comfort food?? Since we didn't get to spend Valentine's Day together, I sent him off with pancakes and... (drum roll) Homemade Syrup... YES.

Official Scott Disclaimer: You will want to make this asap. SO do not read this if you are not prepared to face the consequences of showing up to the local SOA group. Syrup Obsessed Addicts.

It is... that GOOD.

It's very simple but seriously good. You can put this on pancakes, ice cream, brownies, a spoon... whatever your heart desires. And please don't try to deny you will not eat this off a spoon. Everyone does = )

Ok. Here are the partners in this crime:

 3/4 Cup Buttermilk

1 1/2 cup Sugar

1 stick of butter

2 TB Corn Syrup

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp Vanilla

Combine ALL ingredients except Vanilla in a large pot. Bring to a boil while you are stirring. Once this boils reduce heat to low (as long as it is still boiling). Cook, stirring frequently, for 8-9 minutes. Once it has turn golden-brownish take off the heat and stir in Vanilla. 

It will thicken up.. 

Pour on top of pancakes... or enjoy with your spoon!!

Woah, Yum.

Yum.

Yum.

I hope you haven't given up syrup, sweets or pancakes for lent! = )
