BUTTERMILK SYRUP (also called Vanilla Syrup)
From the kitchen of Kay Edman

Whenever we had pancakes for our Transfer Breakfasts, while on a mission in Historic Kirtland Village, as senior missionaries, it was always accompanied by buttermilk syrup.

1 Cup sugar
1/2 Cup buttermilk
1/4 Cup butter
1 Tablespoon  corn syrup
1 teaspoon  baking soda
1 teaspoon Vanilla

This recipe will foam and rise so make sure to use a pot tall enough to accommodate it so it doesn’t boil over. Mix buttermilk, sugar, butter, corn syrup, and baking soda and bring to a boil, stirring constantly.  Reduce heat, continue stirring, and simmer for about 5 minutes until golden-brown color. Remove from heat and add vanilla.  It will foam and rise.  Stir again to reduce foam.
