Orange Syrup

I'm almost seven months pregnant (with our 3rd child --and second boy). Ever since I got pregnant, the one consistent thing I have craved is orange juice. This is especially strange for me, but I just can't get enough. After making the BEST buttermilk pancakes... ever, I decided that they would taste lovely with some orange syrup. This syrup is SUPER easy too make and super versatile for pancakes or a bundt cake. I hope you like it!

Ingredients:
1 cup sugar
1 cube butter
1/4 cup frozen orange juice concentrate

Directions:
Put all ingredients into a saucepan over medium low.

Bring all ingredients to a boil, stirring constantly. Cool slightly and serve over pancakes, sweet bread, poppyseed cake or whatever you like.

Pour remaining syrup in a container and keep in the fridge until you're ready to use it again.... which will be soon because this stuff is GOOD!

Buttermilk Syrup

Oh man... this stuff is sooooo good!

1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 tsp. karo syrup

Combine all ingredients in a 3 qt pot. Using a whisk, stir often.

Bring to a boil then remove from heat. Stir in 1 tsp. baking soda and 1 tsp. vanilla. It will foam up so make sure you have a good size pot, not a small one! Then, leave it alone. Don't stir it anymore. Use spoon to serve over waffles, pancakes, french toast, or whatever!!!

After it sits for a bit, it will begin to look like this, and it's still good: Refrigerate leftover and reheat in the microwave when you need it. This is also good for scones. When it is cold and sets up, its great to just scoop some up and spread it over warm scones or muffins. I haven't tried it on ice cream but some people say it's good.
