Buttermilk/Caramel Syrup

I stole this recipe from a friend and since then it has been my favorite recipe. I just love to make it and then people are wowed at my skills. It is an easy recipe but really delicious. You can use this on just about anything, we sometimes put it on our ice cream!

Buttermilk/Caramel Syrup

1/2 cup butter

1 1/2 cups white sugar

1 cup karo syrup

3/4 cup buttermilk/sour milk

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp vanilla

In a very LARGE pot melt all of the ingredients together and bring to a boil. Let the syrup boil for about 8 minutes or until the peaks of the syrup start turning a light caramel color. Don't boil it for too long or it will be too dark. Pour into your favorite syrup dispenser and serve.

See I told you it was super easy!!

Applesauce Pancakes

I have a reputation in my family for being the one who does the breakfast. I love to make new things and I love to just make new recipes up. This recipe I got the skeleton from Pinterest (my new favorite website) but I tweaked it so that it would fit with what I have found works the best.

Applesauce Pancakes

1 cup buttermilk/sour milk

1 egg

2 TBSP applesauce (if you don't have any then you can just use butter but that is why I substituted it because I didn't want to use butter)

1 cup flour

2 tsp baking powder

2 TBSP sugar

1/2 tsp salt

Whisk the buttermilk and the eggs and the applesauce together then add the dry ingredients. Let sit for a couple of minutes while your griddle heats up. Make sure to use a spray on your griddle so the pancakes don't stick. Pour the batter to the size you want and then cook for 2-3 minutes on one side and then flip to the other side til golden on the bottom. Serve with your favorite topping. Mine is homemeade Buttermilk syrup!

Makes 4 servings.

This recipe is super easy and takes just a few minutes to make in the morning and then you can be a winner at your house for breakfasts.
