Magic Syrup

This is so good and easy, you won't believe it!

Magic Syrup

1 C. sugar

1 stick of butter (1/2 C.)

½ C. buttermilk

(Sometimes I substitute ½ C. skim milk with the juice from ½ a fresh lemon. You could use bottled lemon juice as well. You need the acid in the recipe to activate the baking soda.)

Melt and cook sugar, butter and buttermilk. Bring to hard boil. Remove from heat and add:

1 tsp. vanilla

1 tsp. baking soda (This makes the syrup frothy.)
