Coconut or Caramel Syrup

There isn't a picture for this post because one would never do it justice. Just take my word for it that you will never want anything else once you've tried it! The coconut version is the most popular in our family served with Belgian waffles or fluffy french toast.

1/2 c. buttermilk
1/2 c. butter
1 c. sugar
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. vanilla OR coconut extract

Combine buttermilk, butter, sugar, and baking soda and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and add extract of your choice. Chill. Makes about 1 1/2 c. of syrup.
