Have you ever made Butter Cream Syrup?
The recipe I am sharing today has been living in my archives for many years now. I know many of you adore it, dream about and use it for special occasions. I wanted to bring it to the top of the pile today so that those who haven’t had a chance to try it, could gaze at its beauty and ponder a way to work it into your calorie count. 🙂 I am also “re” sharing it today because I used it yesterday in a fabulous (AMAZINGLY FABULOUS!) breakfast recipe, that I will be imparting to you right here, on this very blog tomorrow morning.
Now, for those of you who haven’t tried it. Baby, hold on to your pantyhose. It’s rich, buttery, creamy, silky smooth and absolutely fabulous. It uses basic ingredients that many of us keep on hand. It’s glorious over waffles, french toast, pancakes or crepes. You could even drizzle it over vanilla ice cream…or a nice warm peach cobbler. Lots of possibilities with this one, gang.
Let me show you how easy it is to make!
BUTTER CREAM SYRUP
PRINT RECIPE
Time: 10 minutes
Yield: 4 cups
Recipe from the lovely and wonderful Angela Howells
***NOTE: You could easily half this recipe. Also, it will keep for 5-6 days in the refrigerator.
1 C butter (I use salted)
2 C sugar
1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
2 tsp vanilla
dash salt
1. Place 1 cup butter into a sauce pan and melt it over medium high heat. (Melt the butter not the pan, man.)
2. Add 2 cups sugar
and 1 can evaporated milk. (Not sweetened condensed milk, please…though it is wonderful, yes?)
3. Bring it to a boil, while you stir. Let it boil for 3 minutes, stirring while it cooks.
4. Remove the pan from the heat and add 2 teaspoons vanilla and a dash of salt to the pot and stir to combine.
5. Allow it to sit for 3-4 minutes, it will thicken up a bit for you while it sits.
Serve over pancakes, waffles, ice cream. warm peach cobbler…or just spoon it directly into your mouth. I will not tell a single soul. 🙂
Could this be made with cream Instead of evaporated milk? I am ok with cream but can not drink milk, thanks
Mom made this syrup to serve with biscuits on Saturday morning. Brings back wonderful memories.
