Buttermilk Syrup and Waffled French Toast

I saw this recipe on facebook and it was posted by Brave Girls.  It looked so good, I had to post it.

Buttermilk Syrup
1 stick butter
1 cup sugar
1 cup buttermilk (If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can use 1 T. lemon juice or vinegar plus enough whole milk to make 1 cup.  Let stand 5 minutes before using.  Or 1 cup whole milk plus 1 3/4 teaspoons cream of tartar or 1 cup plain yogurt.)
1 T. vanilla
1 T. corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Begin by melting the butter in a deep, heavy saucepan.  Add the sugar, buttermilk, vanilla and corn syrup and bring to boil.  Next, add the baking soda and the mixture will foam.   You will pour this yumminess onto the waffled french toast.

Waffled French Toast
6 slices of thick bread (sourdough is especially good)
2 eggs
2/3 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon vanilla
Pinch of salt

Whisk the eggs, milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla and salt all together until it is well mixed.  Dip the bread in the egg mixture coating each side well.  Cook your french toast in a waffle iron to add crispness and little pockets for the yummy syrup.
