Old Fashioned Buttermilk Syrup is a thick, luscious, and decadent syrup for any pancakes, waffles, crepes, or even ice cream. It’s a vintage secret grandmother knew about. Grandmother knew how to create a to-die-for syrup for breakfast when maple syrup was not available. Nevertheless, it tastes nothing like buttermilk. It has a light, slight butterscotch, and creamy flavor. It will have you licking it off the plate. In fact, you will be wondering where it has been all your life.
Old Fashioned Buttermilk Syrup:
I had Old Fashioned Buttermilk Syrup at a restaurant and a flood of memories were brought to my mind. I hadn’t had it since I was a kid. It reminded me of a friend’s mom who used to make it. This has such an old-fashioned vintage taste to it. A recipe to bring back memories of yesteryear. Needless to say, this recipe dates back to when most people all across the globe had their own livestock and gardens. Hence, It was invented to use up leftover buttermilk so it would not get wasted. Every little morsel or drop of food was used up. Unlike today’s environment of waste. Back then it was a survival technique. Today very few people own their own livestock and garden.
Reminiscing:
Funny how an aroma or taste of food can immediately sweep you back in time. Sometimes it is the first time you tried something. Or it will remind you of your grandmother or mother making the same thing. The tastebuds seem to tantalize your brain and wake it up by reliving a short piece of time that can be played over and over again. Needless to say, a trip down memory lane can be quite comforting at times. Oh, how I hope I made memories with my kids. In all honesty, I hope whenever they have this recipe that it reminds them of us having breakfast together. Perhaps they might also remember the laughter and the warm and cozy house all while spending time together.
Old Fashioned Buttermilk Syrup:
It is a unique and flavorful syrup. While it is based on a vintage recipe I have revamped it to make it dairy-free as my children are allergic to dairy. I make this every once in a while for something different. It can be used with my Gluten-Free Gingerbread Waffles. Makes a little over one cup of syrup. If you need more syrup just double or triple the recipe.
Furthermore, this recipe is quick and easy to make and stores well in the fridge. Delight your family with an old-time recipe sure to become a family favorite. I prefer to use Thai Canned Unsweetened Coconut Milk and my favorite pure vanilla is Madagascar Vanilla however, use what works for you. Pure Madagascar Vanilla is pricy but I believe it is better than Mexican Vanilla or Tahitian Vanilla and it is my favorite.
Consequently, if I was to get another waffle iron I would get a heart-shaped one as it reminds me of eating waffles in Sweden with my Mormor (Grandmother in English).
