This recipe is a butter syrup, much like the homemade coconut syrup used in my Coconut French Toast recipe, which means it’s rich and creamy and downright addictive.
You’ll probably want to pour it over everything you eat, honestly.
What makes this syrup extra tasty is the blend of warm spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice with smooth vanilla for a bounty of flavor no one can resist.
This syrup would be delicious on so many things from breakfast to dessert! I love serving it with my Eggnog Waffles, Eggnog French Toast, and Buttermilk Pancakes! But imagine it over vanilla ice cream or an apple spice cake – yum!
The best part is that this recipe is really easy to make on the stovetop, so you can have a hot pot of syrup in no time!
How To Make Spiced Vanilla Syrup
- In a medium saucepan combine the butter, sugar, half & half, vanilla, and spices together and cook over medium heat until the butter melts and the mixture begins to boil.
- Boil the mixture for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, then remove from heat. Add the baking soda while whisking continuously. The mixture will rise once the baking soda is added, so to be safe I would recommend doing this over the sink if you think your pot is a little on the small side.
- Enjoy on pancakes, ice cream, and more or bottle up to give as gifts!
