Homemade Buttermilk Syrup is a thick and creamy topping that’s perfect for drizzling over waffles, pancakes or ice cream!
This delicious syrup also makes a tasty homemade gift.

Homemade Buttermilk Syrup is a recipe that’s been around for ages. I think I was first introduced to this deliciousness through my sister in law, Rebecca.
She would always make homemade treats for everyone for Christmas, and one year she gifted us a jar of this liquid gold. It’s life changing guys.

The trick with this super easy homemade buttermilk syrup is to not over cook it.
You can go from sweet and delicious to bitter and gross if you burn the sugar. Just make sure you keep stirring and keep an eye on the mixture while it boils.

We love to serve the buttermilk syrup over hot pancakes, like these Strawberry Greek Yogurt Pancakes. One of our favorite ways to use the syrup though is on top of vanilla ice cream.
The syrup thickens over the cold ice cream and it’s almost like a chewy caramel. Try adding a few chopped pecans on top for an extra special sundae!

We reserve this deliciousness for special occasions, but it’s really good any time of the year. It lasts for weeks in the fridge, so it’s great to make a batch to have on hand when the craving hits.
You’re going to love this creamy and sweet syrup!
