Buttermilk Syrup

2 C sugar
1 C butter
1 C buttermilk
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla

Bring butter, sugar, and buttermilk to a boil, while stirring constantly.   Remove from heat and add baking soda and vanilla.   This will foam up-- so use a larger-than-normal pot.   Stir down and serve warm over anything! (Nancy Dana)
