My kids probably already have!
I don't buy syrup from the store. We generally opt for jams or fruit or nutella (or nothing) to top our breakfast goodies. But when I stumbled across this recipe a couple of years ago, there was no going back! We have been converted to syrup when it's this syrup. To prove my point, I always have at least one back up bottle of coconut extract in the cupboard. My kids just wouldn't have it any other way.
(recipe from The Sisters Cafe)
printable version
7-8 Tbs. butter
¾ cup buttermilk
1 cup sugar
½ tsp baking soda
1 tsp. coconut extract
Place butter, buttermilk and sugar in a saucepan. Turn heat to medium and stir until butter melts and sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil and boil for one minute. Remove from the heat and add soda and extract. It will bubble up; just continue to stir and give it a few minutes for the “foam” to reduce before serving.
I made this syrup tonight for my kids. I served it with French toast and it was a hit with them and me.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad that it was a hit.
ReplyDeleteMy mantra is "every day is better when it starts with coconut syrup". Just kidding - but it totally could be :)
