Ingredients

  • 2 c. sugar
  • 1 c. milk
  • 1 Tbsp. butter
  • 1 tsp. vanilla

Instructions

Tips & Substitutions

For a creamier texture, consider substituting half the milk with heavy cream. If you're looking to add a unique flavor, you can infuse the syrup with a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg. Make sure to stir continuously while cooking to prevent the sugar from scorching, which can ruin the sauce. This syrup pairs beautifully with Grandma Brown'S Peach Cobbler for an extra indulgent dessert.

Serving Suggestions

Serve this delicious syrup warm over freshly baked biscuits for a comforting breakfast treat. It also complements pancakes or waffles, adding a sweet touch. For a delightful dessert, drizzle it over ice cream or use it as a topping for Mother'S Rice Pudding, making for an enjoyable end to any meal.

Storage & Reheating

Store any leftover syrup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. To reheat, simply warm it gently in a saucepan over low heat or microwave it in short intervals, stirring in between to ensure it heats evenly without burning.
