Homemade Syrup

My rating: 5 stars

Kids' rating: 5 stars

I call it syrup, because that's an acceptable thing to put on breakfast. But if we were being honest with ourselves, we'd call it "breakfast frosting." It's so easy, and it stores well in the fridge, I rarely buy store bought syrup anymore. 

1 cup butter

1 cup sugar

1 cup heavy cream

Bring to a boil, and let boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat and add 1 teaspoon vanilla. If you want to knock your socks off, add 1/2 teaspoon almond extract. My kids like to keep their socks on, so they don't like the almond. But I'm a huge fan.
