Sweet and Sour Sauce

Vanilla sauce for waffles and pancakes

2 cups milk
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup waffle or pancake batter
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla

For our family of eight I double this.

Put milk, sugar and butter in a medium size sauce pan. Bring to boil over medium high heat and slowly boil for about five minutes. Remove from heat and add the vanilla. Put sauce over waffles or pancakes with fresh berries or frozen berries that have been thawed and whipped cream. It’s also good to sprinkle some granola or other nuts or seeds on top. I like sprinkling some granola on top of the batter right after I put the batter in the waffle iron before closing the lid.

Vanilla sauce to go over pancakes/waffle

When making pancakes or waffles reserve 1/4 c of the batter.

2 c Milk

1/4 c Reserved batter
2 t. Vanilla

Scaled milk and sugar together then whisk in batter. Boil 4-6 minutes to thicken stiring consistently. Remove from heat and add vanilla. Serve immediately with fresh or thawed fruit.
