buttermilk syrup


I discovered this recipe when reviewing Gooseberry Patch's Quick and Easy Christmas. It is such a wonderful cookbook!  All of the recipes are extremely simple to make, require ordinary ingredients, and generally take 30 minutes or less.  They are all special enough to serve for the holidays and yet practical enough to make any time of the year.  I love that!  There's no need to pack this cookbook away with your Christmas decorations.

The buttermilk syrup was so easy to whip up that I managed to do it in between putting one batch of pancakes on the griddle and taking them off to serve.  I think the total time was less than 3 minutes!  And oh the taste...we loved it!  I have a feeling that we're going to be opting for this homemade syrup over store-bought syrup from here on out.  It was absolutely delicious, incredibly easy, and just an all-around great recipe.
