- ½ Teaspoons Baking Soda
- 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract

- Once it’s boiled, take the pan off the heat and stir in the baking soda and vanilla extract. Don’t be alarmed when the mixture begins to foam. This chemical reaction is what gives the syrup its signature light and creamy texture.½ Teaspoons Baking Soda, 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- Let the syrup rest for a few minutes to allow the foam to settle. Then it’s ready to pour over your favorite pancakes, fresh fruit, German pancakes, or whatever breakfast favorite you’ve got on the table. It’s especially delicious served warm, but you can refrigerate any leftover syrup and reheat it later.
