Dutch Honey Syrup is a family tradition on my maternal side. An easy homemade syrup recipe, that we’ve always referred to as Dutch Honey, but is more commonly called Vanilla Butter Syrup, blonde butter syrup, vanilla butter syrup, buttermilk syrup, cream syrup and sometimes just vanilla syrup.
Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup salted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
Instruction
- In a heavy bottom saucepan, combine the sugar, cream, butter and vanilla extract.
- Heat to a low boil, stirring with a wooden spoon.
- Reduce to simmer and continue to stir until it thickens (about 5-10 minutes). Right before removing from the heat, stir in the baking soda until dissolved.
- Serve immediately or allow to cool and refrigerate.
