Buttermilk Syrup

Buttermilk Syrup

3/4 c. buttermilk
1 1/2 c. sugar
1 stick real butter
2 Tbsp. corn syrup
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. vanilla

Combine buttermilk, sugar, butter, corn syrup, and baking soda in a LARGE pot. Like one you'd make soup in. Yes, you'll have way more pot than ingredients, but this will boil all over your newly-cleaned stove if you put it in a smaller saucepan.

Bring ingredients to a boil and reduce heat to low (as long as it's still bubbling, you're okay). Cook, stirring very frequently, for 8-9 minutes. You're basically making candy here and candy-making requires constant vigilance.

When it's done, it should take on this luscious golden-brown color. Remove from heat and add vanilla.

You can save any unused syrup in the refrigerator and warm up another time. This didn't last more than a few days at my house though because I was looking for anything I could make to eat it with. YUMMMMM!!!!

Chicken and Bacon stuffed pizza rolls

WOW!!! This was delicious. I highly recommend it. I use the pizza dough recipe from this site also and used half the dough for the pizza rolls and the other half for cinnamon bread sticks! This was amazing, I can't believe I could actually make something this good. YUM! (obviously I recommend trying it)

French Toast Waffles

I was reading in my Southern Living Book last night and they mentioned you could cook your battered bread for french toast in a waffle iron! William always wants waffles so I tried it this morning and it was pretty good...not amazing, but good. I am always looking for new breakfast foods, so if you feel adventurous, give it a try. You could also try this syrup with them:
