And then I made homemade creamy buttermilk maple syrup and all was right in the world. Take that restless night’s sleep. I refuse to let you win. Didn’t you know that waffles and maple syrup, especially buttermilk syrup always fix everything? Bad breakup? Homemade syrup will cure that. Oh, you left your windows down and it rained? BAM! Homemade syrup to the rescue again.
Alright, I can feel through the interwebs that some of you aren’t convinced. You think syrup isn’t really that big of a deal. You. Are. Wrong. I grew up on Mom’s homemade maple syrup, buttermilk syrup, raspberry or blackberry homemade syrup and look how good I turned out! Clearly it’s the syrup.
And this one is the king, the champion, the blasted olympian of them all. It’s warm, creamy and slightly mapley (not a word) and it will totally make you feel better if you sop it up with a homemade waffle or better yet, our melt in your mouth buttermilk pancakes. Do it. Get it done.

This might be a silly question, but should you use dark or light corn syrup? Or does it matter? I’m planning to make this to go along with the blueberry pancake bake from your site for my family on Christmas morning. I’m so excited, I think everyone will love it! Rich & creamy homemade syrup? Talk about gourmet, haha! I know the pancake bake was a guest post, but still, thanks for the lovely unique recipes I can impress my family with 🙂

Thank you so much Elizabeth! I have always used light corn syrup. We would love to hear how everything goes Christmas morning!

I commented on this recipe recently, and it’s still our new favorite! However, after making this a few times, I’ve found that I curdled the buttermilk once or twice. What causes this? Am I overheating? I add the buttermilk after I melted the butter. Should
I instead add it with the cold butter? Thanks in advance!
Sweet Basil
Yes, overheating will cause curdling. If you whisk it, you can usually smooth it back out.

Okay, I almost NEVER comment on recipes, but this one deserves it. A ++++! The only changes I made was using about a 1/4 cup of brown sugar and 3/4 cup white. I also only had a half cup of buttermilk, but this stuff was amazing. Almost like straight up caramel. Seriously golden recipe!
