Brown Sugar Butter Syrup recipe

Brown sugar and butter simmer together and create a caramel toffee flavored syrup like nothing you’ve ever tasted. This sauce is no substitute for maple syrup, maple syrup is it’s own bit of wonderful that nothing can replace. This syrup is awesome all by itself.

I drizzled this syrup over some Banana Nut Oatmeal last week and my boys liked it so much, they requested it on their oatmeal again the very next morning. I couldn’t resist making a batch of our favorite waffles for the last of the syrup. This is on par with our family’s beloved Waffle Sauce; it’s a completely different kind of deliciousness and I already love it.

When I saw Rebecca’s recipe for this syrup I was immediately taken back to childhood when my mom used to make a sugar syrup for our pancakes. This version, oh Mom forgive me, this version puts that one to shame times about 1000. This is one instance where butter not only makes it better, but it transforms the recipe into something that will take your breath away with its deliciousness. Your kitchen will smell amazing and you might even be left without words to describe it.

Brown Sugar Butter Syrup
Recipe adapted from and with thanks to Foodie with Family
Ingredients
  • 2 cups brown sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • Optional: 1/4 teaspoon vanilla or maple extract
Instructions
  1. Combine the sugar and water in a medium size saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Lower the heat to medium and allow the mixture to boil for 4 minutes. Add the butter and stir until the butter has dissolved. Remove from the heat and add the extract if desired.
  2. Let the syrup cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a pitcher or jar for storage. Serve immediately or store tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to a month. Enjoy!
  3. * To reheat, remove the lid and microwave in 15 second intervals, stirring in between until hot. Or place on a folded washcloth in a pan of water, bring to a simmer and using a hotpad, swirl the jar every so often until the syrup has warmed.

  2. I don't have access to a stove so can this recipe be made in the microwave and if so for how long? PLEASE HELP I REALLY WANT TO MAKE THIS RECIPE.

    • I have no idea how this would work in the microwave. I'd try using a large bowl, heating for 1 minute, stirring, heating another minute, stirring, and repeating until thickened. I'm guessing it will take at least 8-10 minutes when made with that many pauses.

  3. My grandmother, who had turned me on to fresh bread-brown sugar-butter sandwiches made this one time for me, way before I figured out I should have been writing these recipes down. She said it was what she grew up with before you could buy it in bottles in stores. She was born 1889 in rural Ohio. Thank you for bringing back such fond memories. Now you should make my Scottish granny’s butter tablet.

  5. This recipe is so plain and simple but it’s great. If you take your time and do it right, the syrup ends up way way better than store bought syrup. You can play with the sugar and water amounts to make less or more, and to get it at the perfect consistency. I ate this with buttery polenta slices. Surprisingly amazing.

  6. Good morning Mary, I was wondering if I could use a brown sugar substitute for the brown sugar, because I’m on a low carb and sugar free lifestyle. And I’m looking for a recipe so that I can make my own syrup. This recipe looks very easy to make. Please get back to me whenever you can. Thanks for sharing.

  11. The non profit where I volunteer holds a fund raiser/ bake sale every December to raise money for our local Veterans' home. We offer samples of various baked goods, then hold a contest where people vote for their favorites by donating money to the can labeled with the item. The winner (bragging rights is the "prize") is the one whose can has the most money when the event ends.Used this AMAZING recipe as glaze for my date nut loaves. These won BIG - over $200, which is a record during the six years we've been doing this. My family loves this creation too.

  12. I'll never buy Mrs. Butterworth's again :-) I've made this several times over the past couple of years-- added more vanilla at times, adding cinnamon other times, and a little more butter because why not? ;)

  2. […] Who doesn’t love waffles? You can make regular waffles or even ante up for yummy cake waffles! For picky-eater moms, whip up  gluten-free waffles or vegan waffles. Just make sure you have the right toppings and sides. Pick out fresh strawberries, blueberries, chocolate chips, whipped cream, and sliced almonds, for starters. And pick out a nice bottle of maple syrup or get crafty and make this brown sugar butter syrup. […]
