I don’t like maple syrup very much and so when we had pancakes the other day I decided to make buttermilk syrup.  It’s super easy to make plus fun too. It’s fun to watch the color change to a caramel texture.  I love the taste of it. It goes great with pancakes, German pancakes, waffles etc. It’s honestly more like caramel than syrup but hey that’s just fine with me!
