Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Large Pot
- Wooden Spoon
- Frying Pan
- Whisk
- Saucepan
Ingredients
- 2 cups Light Brown Sugar
- 1.25 cups Water
- 0.5 cups Salted Butter
- 2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla
Instructions
- Measure light brown sugar and water into a medium pot and place it over medium high heat. Stir gently to combine the ingredients. You’ll notice how the sugar starts to dissolve, creating a lovely syrup.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a moderate simmer. Allow it to cook for about 4 minutes. Keep an eye on it as it bubbles, ensuring it doesn’t boil over.
- Once the time is up, turn the burner to low and start whisking in pats of butter one at a time. Watch as the butter melts into the syrup, creating a rich and glossy mixture. The heat should be low to prevent any splatter.
- After all the butter is fully incorporated, remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the ground cinnamon and vanilla. Be careful as the mixture might bubble up when you add the vanilla! This adds an exciting element to the process.
- Let the syrup cool for a few minutes before serving. It’s best enjoyed warm, drizzled generously over waffles or pancakes. Each bite will take you back to those blissful breakfast moments.
