Coconut Syrup

While we were in Hawaii I became obsessed with coconut syrup. The hotels we stayed at served it on their breakfast buffets, you could put it on pancakes, waffles or french toast with macadamia nuts, strawberries, bananas or chocolate chips. It was divine! When we got home I knew I needed to find a recipe for those occasional over the top breakfasts. This one from pinterest did not disappoint! I found it over at Cooking a la Mode http://cookingalamode.blogspot.com/2010/03/blender-french-toast-with-coconut-syrup.html. Pair it up with you favorite french toast or pancake recipe!


Coconut Syrup
1/2 c. butter
¾ c. buttermilk
1 c. sugar
½ tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. coconut extract

Place butter, buttermilk and sugar in a medium saucepan. Stir over medium heat until butter melts and sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil and boil one minute.

Remove from heat and add baking soda and extract, stirring constantly. It will bubble up, so if your pot is small, hold it over the sink to avoid spillage. Continue to stir syrup and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve over almost any breakfast food: waffles, pancakes, French toast, crepes, etc.
