This is wonderful! I didn't have any corn syrup so I used 1tbsp of corn starch. We try to eat low fat so I only had skim milk on hand. I added a little lemon juice to the milk and it worked great in place of the buttermilk. Also I didn't have the butter, I used 1tbsp of Smart Balance light spread and added butter flavoring at the end to make sure it had that buttery taste, although, I don't think you really need it it's rich enough. One more subsitute, I used 1/2 cup of dark brown sugar and 1 cup of white sugar. I think I'll cut down on the white sugar next time, really sweet for me but my kids loved it. The extra sweetness, thickness and carmel flavor worked GREAT with whole wheat pancakes, however, which can and extra kick sometimes. I would like to try cooking it a little longer, to thicken it a bit more, and pour over popcorn and pretzels and bake for a few mins.
I don't see me ever buying store bought syrup ever again. I'll use this one over and over!
