Notes
For a buttermilk substitute, mix 1/2 cup milk with 1/2 tablespoon white vinegar or lemon juice and let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
For a thicker syrup, simmer for a few extra minutes. The syrup will also thicken slightly as it cools.
Brown sugar can be used in place of granulated sugar for a richer flavor.
