We can’t enjoy pancakes or waffles without this (EASY) homemade syrup.
Honestly, this syrup is the reason my family requests pancakes every single weekend. It takes 10 minutes, uses ingredients you already have, and tastes like something from a fancy brunch spot. I encourage you to make a big batch because it keeps well in the fridge for weeks, and you’ll love it topped on so much more than pancakes! It’s the best buttermilk syrup for waffles, or french toast recipes, German Pancakes or any recipe you’d use breakfast syrup with.
How to Make Pancake Syrup
Combine Ingredients: Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat then whisk in sugar, buttermilk, vanilla, and cinnamon. Bring to a full boil then reduce heat to low and cook for 2 minutes, whisking constantly.
Add Baking Soda: Dump in baking soda while whisking (the syrup will get bubbly and rise). Take off heat and let sit for a few minutes before serving.
Enjoy: This syrup is so good I could drink it! But since that isn’t socially acceptable, I love to serve it on my Buttermilk Pancakes, Classic French Toast, German Pancakes, Hawaiian French Toast Casserole, Belgian Waffles, or Sheet Pan Pancakes!
