Homemade creamy peanut butter syrup delivers rich, indulgent flavor perfect for breakfast lovers. Drizzle over pancakes or waffles for a sweet, nutty experience you’ll crave again and again.
Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 ½ cups milk
- ¾ cup sugar
- 2 tbsps butter
- 2 tbsps all-purpose flour (or ¼ cup brown rice flour for gluten-free option)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Dry Blend: Whisk flour and sugar in a saucepan, ensuring complete integration of dry ingredients without clumping.
- Liquid Formation: Position pan over medium heat, gradually streaming milk while stirring continuously to develop a silky, lump-free base with consistent texture.
- Thickening Process: Maintain gentle heat, allowing mixture to evolve, watching bubbles emerge and consistency transform, stirring periodically until slightly condensed, roughly 3-4 minutes.
- Flavor Infusion: Introduce peanut butter, whisking vigorously to create a smooth, homogeneous mixture that develops rich, creamy characteristics.
- Final Enhancement: Remove from heat, fold in vanilla extract and butter simultaneously, creating a glossy, luxurious syrup with complex aromatic undertones.
- Serving Technique: Cascade the warm, velvety syrup immediately over freshly prepared waffles or pancakes, allowing it to drape elegantly and enrich the breakfast experience.
Notes
- Whisk Wisely: Consistent stirring prevents lumps and ensures a smooth, creamy syrup texture throughout cooking.
- Temperature Control: Medium heat is crucial for preventing scorching and allowing gradual thickening without burning ingredients.
- Emulsification Technique: Vigorous whisking when adding peanut butter and butter creates a glossy, perfectly blended syrup with no separation.
- Serve Immediately: Pour the warm syrup directly over hot pancakes or waffles to maximize flavor absorption and maintain optimal temperature and richness.
