- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla

*Notes:
- -The original recipe calls for 1/2 cup butter. I cut back to 1/4 cup to save my waistline and my husband’s cholesterol, but you can feel free to use all of it if you so desire. I won’t stand in your way.
- -This stuff is so delicious, we haven’t gone back to maple syrup. We also use it on buttermilk pancakes, waffles, and German pancakes. It can also be served over ice cream.
- -Several readers have asked how long this will keep in the refrigerator. I'm not exactly sure because with 4 hungry boys we finish things off pretty fast. But I know we've kept some for at least 2-3 months and it was just fine.

I can't believe I'm the first to review this recipe. It's very very good! I had some buttermilk that was a little outdated and I hate to throw food away so I decided to try this. I'm so glad I did! I was out of butter so I substituted margarine and only used about 1/3 cup instead of 1/2 cup. This is sooo good. I boiled the mixture for at least 5 minutes because I didn't want the sauce to be too thin. The baking soda does make the sauce expand quite a bit but thankfully my pan was large enough that it didn't boil over. I'm so glad I found this recipe. Thanks for sharing, internetnut!

Now I post all recipes I've tried or would like to try. I'm actually making it my goal to try almost all the recipes I've posted as soon as I can. I love food and I love to eat and try different recipes. My favorite course is dessert. I love sweets! This leads me to that I did have Gastric Bypass surgery on July 25th 2008. On that note I love baking and cooking a priceless gift passed down from my grammy who I dearly loved and miss deeply. My grammy passed away 1/15/07. She was a wonderful cook and baker and taught me many things and the most valueable things was how to be a wonderful cook and baker like her. I really enjoy searching for new recipes especially here on Zaar. I'm always finding and adding to my cookbook new and exciting recipes. I also enjoy posting recipes here on Zaar as well.

I live in Elmira, New York where famous writer Mark Twain did some of his writing and he once lived. I have 1 cats Samantha and 1 dog our newest member MOO MOO (my nieces dog) who are my children as I do not have any human children of my own.
