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.

Just curious, is the baking soda required??
It definitely gives it that foaming texture making it light!
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!
