1 cup sugar
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 cube butter
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 Tbsp. white Karo
1 tsp. vanilla (add after cooking other stuff)
Mix all ingredients together (except vanilla) in a Medium sized pot (it bubbles and boils - leave room!, When I double it, I use my big bean pot.) Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring continually, let boil for 5 minutes, remove from heat and add vanilla, mix well.
Awesome on Aebelskievers, Pancakes, Waffles, ice cream, fresh apple cake, dirt, anything.
