Lemon Butter Cream Syrup

by Jamie

I love lemon. It’s such a bright cheerful ingredient, wouldn’t you say? Now don’t get me wrong, I don’t get a kick out of sucking on lemon slices or anything like that…but pair a splash or two of fresh lemon juice with Beach Street Lemon Chicken, or this fantastic White Chocolate Lemon Dessert and I am a girl well pleased.

This amazing Lemon Butter Cream Syrup I brought to share with you today is bursting with lemon flavor. It’s rich, creamy and absolutely fabulous drizzled over the top of pancakes, waffles…or crepes. For those of you who have tried (and loved) the Butter Cream Syrup Recipe from my archives, this is almost the exact same recipe, just with a lemon kick.

Hope you love it! I will be sharing a killer, wickedly awesome waffle recipe that pairs perfectly with this syrup tomorrow. Hope you will join me then.

Now, let me show you how to make this lemon syrup happen.

4. Remove the pan from the heat and add 1-2 tsp lemon zest. Start with 1 tsp at first, you can always add a little bit more if you want more lemon kick.

4. Add 3 Tb lemon juice…

and 3 drops yellow food coloring. Give the syrup a taste, and add more lemon zest or juice according to your liking.
5. Allow to pan to sit for a few minute on your counter. It will thicken up just a bit for you as it cools.

I LOVE lemon, and this looks great. I can imagine using it on all sorts of things, even cookies! How long do you think it can be stored in the refrigerator?
