Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup sugar granulated or brown
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup salted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda

Method
 

  1. Combine the Basics: In a medium-sized saucepan, add the sugar, heavy cream, and butter. Turn the heat to medium-low and stir gently until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves.
  2. Simmer for Perfection: Once the mixture is smooth, bring it to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and let it cook for about 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  3. Add Flavor and Texture: Remove the pan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract or paste. Immediately add the baking soda, whisking quickly. The syrup will become light and fluffy.
  4. Cool and Serve: Let the syrup cool for a few minutes before serving. This will thicken it slightly and make it easier to pour over your favorite dishes.

Notes

  • Choose Quality Ingredients: High-quality butter and vanilla make a significant difference in the flavor.
  • Control the Heat: Keep the heat low to prevent burning the sugar or butter.
  • Experiment with Flavors: Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm, spiced twist.
  • Storage Tip: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two weeks. Reheat gently before serving.
