How to Make Sticky Caramel Syrup

1. In a large pot, begin by melting the butter. When the butter is melted, add the buttermilk, sugar, and corn syrup if desired.
2. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
3. Reduce the heat to low. Continue stirring and simmer the syrup for one minute, or until the syrup turns a caramel color.
