Ingredients for Blonde Butter Syrup

This recipe is so easy with only three simple ingredients:

  • Butter
  • Sweetened condensed milk
  • Heavy cream (or half and half would work too)

How To Make Blonde Butter Syrup

To get started, cut the butter into slices and melt it in a saucepan on the stovetop over medium heat.

slicing butter

While the butter is melting, pour the can of condensed milk into a microwavable bowl or measuring cup.  I like to use a large measuring cup.

condensed milk

Heat the condensed milk in the microwave until it bubbles.  Doing it in thirty-second increments. Keeping a close eye on it so it doesn’t boil over.

Once it bubbles a bit, remove the condensed milk from the microwave and pour it into the saucepan with the melted butter, whisking them together.

The butter and condensed milk will stay semi separated but keep whisking for a minute.

Add in the heavy cream and whisk a little more aggressively until all ingredients combine and become smooth.

Continue whisking for another minute or two and remove from the heat.

FAQs About Blonde Butter Syrup

Butter syrup is a type of syrup that is typically made from a mixture of butter, sugar, and water or cream.

It can also be used as a glaze for baked goods, such as cakes or muffins, or as a sweetener for coffee or tea. The rich and buttery flavor of the syrup makes it a popular choice for those who enjoy indulgent and decadent flavors.

No! I haven't seen it in the store.

    1. Honestly, there is rarely any leftover. But on the occasion there is, I store it in the fridge (recommend using it within a week). When you are ready to use it, I take it out and let it sit until it’s room temp. Or I take some warmed water and set it in hot water in the container. Hope that helps! 💕
