BUTTERMILK SYRUP

from: Terese Mayfield

1 cup buttermilk 

1 cup sugar

1/2 cup butter 

1 tbsp Vanilla or Almond extract 

1/2 tbsp baking soda

2 tsp cinnamon - optional (more or less depending on how you like it. I also add nutmeg and cloves sometimes. It makes it taste like Christmas.) 

In a small pan on medium heat bring the butter, sugar, and buttermilk to a boil. Boil on medium low heat for 2 minutes (longer if you want it to be more caramel-y). Take off the heat and add the extract and the spices you want. Right before serving add the baking soda. Make sure that the bowl or pan you use is big enough because the baking soda will make the syrup foam up to about 3 times the size of the syrup.
