The most decadent, easy buttermilk syrup recipe for pancakes, waffles, german pancakes…anything else you dare to taste amazing!!!
This easy buttermilk syrup recipe should be illegal because it’s so good!!! It’s the most delicious and decadent syrup EVER. Once you try it, maple syrup will become a thing of the past. My sister Amanda introduced me to this liquid gold and I feel like I can blame a solid 20 lbs. of weight gain on her!
Without fail, every time I ask my kids if they would like pancakes then the question is 100% of the time followed up with a, “is there buttermilk syrup?” This is almost always followed by an enthusiastic yes! This syrup is a crowd pleaser and so easy to make that it’s simply a no brainer! If we ever have leftovers, we store them in a mason jar or microwave-safe container that’s airtight.
You’ll want to use it within 7 days of making. It may keep longer, we’ve just never had enough leftovers to try it out.
How to make buttermilk syrup

- Once the mixture boils set timer for 3 minutes.
- Take off heat and add a pinch of salt. and whisk together
- Lastly, add 2 tsp baking soda and whisk until incorporated.
- The syrup will more than double in size once the baking soda gets added.
One of my favorite things about this syrup is that the baking soda makes it froth up and it add just a bit of a different taste. It’s so good!

We LOVE to put this syrup on:
Blueberry Pancakes
The blueberry pancakes are also delish without the blueberries. Sometimes our kids prefer plain, so Rex and I will add fresh blueberries and raspberries as a topping with the buttermilk syrup. Makes us feel a little less unhealthy (wink!)
The pumpkin french toast is the perfect Fall breakfast! The combination of pumpkin, buttermilk syrup, and roasted pecans are just perfect!
These are no ordinary waffles. They are truly delicious and packed with a buttery taste! An old fashioned waffle recipe if you will.
