Homemade syrup is easy to make and so delicious! This recipe turns out every time. It’s buttery, and thick and has a unique flavor twist!
As you all should know by now, I have a pancake obsession. And a homemade mix obsession. And I have a homemade pancake mix recipe. A few years ago I thoughtthat I should really have a homemade syrup recipe to go along with thesepancakes I make! I have been making this syrup for years now and I totally love it.
There are a few variations of this homemade syrup recipe out there, I actually got the original recipe mine is based on from a neighbor a loooooong time ago before I graduated high school as part of a youth church activity.

How do you make Homemade Syrup?
I’ve changed the original homemade syrup recipe a bit {of course} and really love how it turns out! There is only one caution with this recipe: use a big enough pot!
At the end, you are going to add baking soda, and that causes the syrup to foam and bubble. If you use a pot that is too small, it will bubble up out of the pot and you will be left with a giant sticky mess all over your stove top.
Browned Butter Syrup
If you are comfortable browning butter, this homemade syrup is DIVINE if you let the butter brown a bit before adding the sugar.
Don’t be scared to play around with this recipe, while it is similar to a caramel recipe, it is much more forgiving. Unless you burn the sugar or butter, there really isn’t much you can do to mess it up.
Is Butter Syrup the same as Buttermilk Syrup?
A lot of homemade syrup recipes like this one are called “buttermilk syrup,” and you can use buttermilk in place of the regular milk in my recipe.
I like the flavor of this syrup best with regular milk because it lets the almond {or vanilla} extract shine through. Tell me which variation you prefer!
Homemade Syrup Recipe Flavorings
I accidentally made it into a caramel syrup one-time {distracted cook!}, and I’ve been working on a fool-proof method for that variation. I’ll update when I get there! Sometimes recreating accidents is a little difficult 🙂 .
You can use almond extract or vanilla extract in this particular recipe. For other syrup recipes, check out this list.

Notes
A 2.5 quart saucepan is the smallest size you will want to use for this recipe. It will bubble and foam up quite a bit once the baking soda is added.
A rolling boil is a boil that does not break even when you stir the liquid. It will take about 5 minutes to get the mixture to a rolling boil. I set a timer for the 2 minute boil step.
