BUTTERMILK SYRUP (from Mauri)

1 ½ c. white sugar
3/4 c. buttermilk
½ c. butter
2 T. corn syrup
1 t. baking soda
2 t. vanilla extract (AFTER)

In medium saucepan stir together all ingredients. Bring to a boil for 7 minutes, stirring. Remove and add vanilla.
*You can make the buttermilk by using 1 1/2 t. lemon juice and the rest milk and letting it sit for about 10 minutes. You could also use vinegar instead of lemon juice, but I have learned that it doesn't work so great when you add baking soda to the mix. I probably should have learned that in 3rd grade. *
By the way, when I (Mauri) made this it boiled ALL over on my stove. That was not fun to clean up. So make sure you stir as you go...or use a bigger saucepan. That was my mistake.
