Buttermilk Syrup

I got this recipe from my mother-in-law. And it's like trying homemade jam. Once you've tried homemade it's hard going back! It was hard to get a good picture. This is right after I made it. Hence the foam. (It makes more than this, just so you know : ))

Melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) of butter in saucepan
Add:
1 1/2 cups sugar (we usually add 3/4 to 1 cup instead and it's great!)
3/4 cups buttermilk
2 Tablespoons corn syrup (we use light. not that that probably does much : ))
1 teaspoon baking soda
Bring to a boil for 5 mins on medium. Remove from heat.
Add:
2 teaspoons Vanilla
We put leftovers in a container and place in freezer. It never completely freezes. I was distracted (imagine that!) while making it today and added the correct amount of sugar in. This was the first time having it with all the sugar it says to use. And I don't know if it's cause I'm use to the sugar cut in half but I like it better with less sugar.

Mom's Whole Wheat Waffles

My absolute favorite Waffle recipe! Mom makes this on Christmas morning topped with fruit and whipped cream. Or you can top it with McKay's Mom's awesome Buttermilk Syrup (post above). I also love making enough to freeze then grab them out when needed. When they have been frozen we microwave them for like 15-20 sec then pop them into the toaster. Brin loves them as snacks!
It makes about 8 waffles.
