Original recipe from my friends at Deals To Meals.
Ingredients
- BUTTERCREAM SYRUP:
- 1/2 C butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2-3/4 can evaporated milk (can be substituted with buttermilk for a different, yet yummy taste)
- 1 tsp vanilla
- PANCAKES:
- WET INGREDIENTS:
- 1 C milk
- 1/2 C water
- 1/2 C applesauce
- 1 T lemon juice
- 2 eggs
- 1 apple cored and grated
- 4 T oil
- DRY INGREDIENTS:
- 2 T sugar
- 2 t baking powder
- 1 C white flour
- 1 C wheat flour
- 2 t cinnamon
- 1/2 t nutmeg
- 3/4 t salt
- 3/4 t baking soda
Instructions
BUTTERCREAM SYRUP: 1. Place the butter in a medium sized sauce pan and melt over medium high heat. 2. Add the sugar, whisking to combine. 3. Add the milk and stir to combine. Allow it to come to a boil, and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until thickened slightly. 4. Add the vanilla and stir. PANCAKES: 1. Whisk together the wet ingredients until smooth and combined, making sure the egg has incorporated. 2. In a separate bowl, toss together the dry ingredients. Add the dry to the wet and stir just until combined. 3. Heat a large griddle up over medium high heat and pour 1/4 C of batter into circles on the griddle and cook until bubbles form along the top of each pancake. Flip and cook on the other side until golden brown. Serve with the syrup and enjoy!

Gonna have to try that syrup, sounds delish!
Where were you when I needed you yesterday!?!? I searched your whole blog for a syrup recipe like this and nothin', so I was left to my own devices–let's just say the outcome was not so pretty! Thanks for finally getting your act together!!:) I love the blog~but love you even more!
That butter cream syrup sounds just wonderful!
Jamie: The pancakes with the buttercream syrup would be a dream come true to eat un-guilty-ly (new word?) and I'm dying to try the recipe, but honestly, I have no idea what a cube of butter is! I'm old as dirt and have never heard that term before. Please help quickly so I can get this food into my mouth!
Loving your blog and all of these yummy recipes!!
Palleta,
Your comment has me chuckling and chuckling!
I'm sure you are much younger than dirt….and much more beautiful as well.
1 cube of butter is the same thing as 1 stick of butter, or 1/2 C butter.
Hope this helps and may you be savoring ButterCream Syrup soon!

Kristine…
You know you are privy to the JamieCooksItUp hot line. I love to hear your voice any time for any thing. Give me a jingle next time!
Love you too,
Jamie
I love buttercream syrup!! I've never made it with evaporated milk, I always use buttermilk so I am really excited to try it with evaporated milk. I love your blog!! Thanks for all the yummy recipes!
Hey, where on earth did you find pretzel salt for your soft pretzels? I have looked everywhere and can't find it.
Mmm good! I definitely agree…it wouldn't be heaven without this Butter Syrup! 🙂 From the moment I “stole” this recipe from my college roommate many years ago I have always had the idea of mass producing it and selling it somehow(maybe at our next neighborhood bake sale?)…it's liquid gold I tell ya and I just know there would be many that would pay top dollar for this stuff! Let me know if you're in…with you're beautiful pictures and marketing skills we could definitely have some success! sure love ya Jamie…and your blog…it always brings a smile to my face and leaves my mouth drewling!!!
Kim,
Are you in Utah? If so, I'm pretty sure I got mine at Maceys. It has been a number of years since then. (I don't go through it very fast!) But I would check there.
Good luck! I hate it when I can't find something I'm in need of. Last weekend I went to 3 different pharmacies looking for Citric Acid. I never could track any down and had to make my Citrus Water without it!
Hope you and pretzel salt become acquaintances sooner than later!
~Jamie
Yup, sure am. We have a lot of friends in common. Katherine Rose is the one who turned me on to your blog. I'll be making chicken chow mein tomorrow for dinner and HOPEFULLY pretzels if I can find the dang salt. 🙂 I think my mom gets her citric acid from Orson Gygi (if that's even how you spell it) when she makes her lemon water. 🙂
Oh, and what “section” did you find it in? I checked the baking/spice aisle at Harmon's and Smith's. I kept meaning to ask a store employee but forgot. 🙂
Kim,
I think I remember the salt being with the large containers of seasonings, on the baking isle. It seems Maceys has a brand of seasonings that aren't available in other stores. The containers are big and have a red lid on the top. I just pulled mine out of the cupboard and the brand name is “Grandma's Country”. They have a lot of great seasonings, and come in large quantities so they last a long time.
Katherine Rose is a hoot! She is kind to have passed on the word about this blog. Love her.
Have a great night! And thanks for the tip about Citric Acid. I will try Orsen Gigi. (Can't say I have the right spelling either!)
~Jamie
Thanks Jamie!
I made this syrup this weekend with french toast, strawberries, and whipped cream. Yum! I still have a bunch left over in my fridge, and I'm trying to figure what else I can put it on. So far it's pretty good for apple dipping 🙂 I think I'll try your apple pancakes too. Thanks Jamie! And thanks to Angela for sharing your “secret recipe” too! 🙂
You shop at Maceys! Bless you!!!
All I can say is I will be steeling this recipe, Don't worry I will give credit where credit is due!!!
What size can of evaporated milk?
Anonymous,
You use a 12 oz. can. Hope it turns out great!

Made this syrup last week…super yummy change of pace for my pancake and waffle-loving family! What's the best way to store this syrup though? I currently have it in a rinsed out regular syrup bottle, but I noticed it thickens up at room temperature (as butter does). Is that normal? So I just warm it up each time we want to use it?
Jae,
I have to admit, I have never tried to store any leftovers. My family always eats the whole batch. (Should I be admitting that?)
However, I would suggest storing it in the fridge actually. I don't know how long canned milk will last without being refrigerated. Then just heat it up again when you need to use it.
Thanks!
~Jamie
I would like to say that you really made my day, it's wonderful when you just look around the web
and find something like this, reminds me of that ''How to make a dinner for a romantic…'' by Elsa Thomas,
you're a wonderful writer let me tell you!!! ñ_ñ

I ADORE your blog. I subscribe to it and have tried several yummy recipes. Sunday morning I tried the butter cream syrup. OMG!!! We all were in heaven. It tasted like a creamy, buttery, caramel dream. I saved the left overs and drizzled it over ice cream later that afternoon. Thank you so much for your brilliant recipes and ideas. My family depends on them!
Thanks for the recipe! It was a hit with the whole family!
[…] sugar are combined into a silky syrup that would knock these Wonderful Waffles, Oatmeal Pancakes or Apple Wheat Pancakes off the ever lovin’ chart of wonder and […]
I love this recipe and have made it several times. It also works well to use 1 1/2 cups milk and blend a generous cup of whole wheat kernals to start the recipe off – then omit the flour later. Sometimes I need to add a little bit of regular flour at the very end to get the right consistency but I love adapting this to a blender wheat apple pancake recipe. I just blend the apple up with the wheat as well without grating it.
Thanks for all your great recipes!

OR HOW DO i SUBSITTUDE THE POWDERED MILK IN THESE aPPLE PANCAKES. THANK YOU A 10000 TINES
Hi there Ella,
Thanks for your question. If you want to use regular milk, I would omit the powdered milk and the 1 1/2 C water. Instead add 1 C milk and 1/2 C water and you should be all set. Best of luck to you!
