HOMEMADE BUTTERMILK SYRUP RECIPE
This is the syrup recipe that you never knew you needed. Remember how I was telling you how my sister cooked her five boys a hot breakfast every day of their lives? Well this is her homemade buttermilk syrup recipe.
Why do you need this recipe when you can just use bottled syrup? Trust me. It’s 100% better. Like roll your eyes back in your head better.
The only thing I can compare it to is Garrett’s Popcorn. I know that’s a little weird to compare syrup to popcorn but here’s the story.
I was visiting Chicago a couple of years ago and was bringing Garrett’s famous popcorn home to my family and friends. While waiting for my flight I was on the phone talking to my sister “sampling” the popcorn as I talked.
I literally looked down and it was gone. Gonzos. So then it turned into me just bringing home popcorn for my family and my friends would never know it was a thought.
When you make this buttermilk syrup it’s pretty straight forward.
Here’s how you make homemade buttermilk syrup:
- Start by melting the butter, sugar, and buttermilk over low heat.
- Bring mixture to a boil and boil for one minute.
- Remove the mixture from the heat and add the baking soda and vanilla. The mixture will foam up! Don’t be scared.
- Pour over pancakes or waffles.
I obviously couldn’t let you go through the weekend without have this syrup recipe in your life.

I LOVE maple syrup so was hesitant to try a different pancake topping, but oh my goodness – this is delicious! I picked up a quart of buttermilk to use for the pancakes and this sauce, and everyone raved. Really, really good syrup, and super easy to make. Thank you for sharing!
Melt butter prior to adding other ingredients, use a pot, not a saucepan, stir it constantly on medium heat, bring to a rolling boil, remove from heat, add vanilla & baking soda, & beware of foam, there’s a lot more than I anticipated. Maybe try rewriting it to be more specific. It tasted amazing but the process was god awful with these instructions. Hopefully someone will look through the comments & see this before attempting it themselves.
Don’t be scared…until it overflows your pan. LOL. Good thing the sink was very close. My wife and I had such a great laugh about that. This is seriously the best syrup I have ever tasted. I’ll never buy syrup again. Thanks for the introduction.
Awesome!
Have not tried this yet. I will soon with the German pancakes
Hope you do!
This looks so yummy. Do you think this would work with Splenda replacing the sugar? My husband is diabetic and the sugar free syrups leave much to be desired.
Thank you for so many awesome recipes!
I haven’t tried it with Splenda but I don’t see why not.
It is delicious! I made it this morning to serve along with buttermilk pancakes.
My daughter melts butter and mixes in maple syrup to pour over pancakes-she only served herself this syrup. She loves it!
Thank you for sharing the recipe.
So glad you love it like we do!
Our family loves this syrup over almost everything for breakfast!
It’s really so good!
Just curious, is the baking soda required??
It definitely gives it that foaming texture making it light!
Oh my goodness! This syrup was EVERYTHING you said it was! My family couldn’t get enough. This recipe is a definite keeper. Thank you.
Awesome!
Do you think there’s a way to make it in advance, for example to give as gifts? Or will it not keep?
Absolutely! Just store it in jars!
This stuff is our absolute favorite! I’ve been making this for years (our recipes are almost identical! My boys won’t eat waffles or pancakes without it! Your pictures are making my mouth water!
Glad you love it too!

I admit, I’m a little skeptical, but that photo of the pancakes dripping in the buttermilk syrup just looks SO. DANG. GOOD. that I might have to give this one a try. 😉

Thanks. It’s so good.
I have also been making this syrup forever, because you’re right, you CANNOT go back to Mrs. Butterworth’s after trying it. Gross. This is so worth the extra few seconds it takes to make!
So worth it!
