Buttermilk Syrup

Try this on some Oat Wheat Pancakes. You can thank me later. And then I'll pass your thanks on to my friend Diana and her mom. I got the recipe from them Ü

1 stick butter
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 Tbsp dark Karo syrup
1 tsp vanilla

In a large sauce pan, simmer all ingredients, except vanilla, until sugar dissolves. Syrup will foam a lot. Watch it to be sure it doesn't spill over. (That will make a big sticky mess!) Remove from heat and add vanilla. Leftovers keep well in the pantry and will not crystallize.
