About us
How It all Began
In 1983, my wife and I attended a pancake social. “Have you tried this syrup?” my wife asked. “It’s REALLY good!” I did try it and immediately asked for the recipe. Homemade buttermilk syrup instantly became our family’s favorite. Whole wheat pancakes topped with frothy buttermilk syrup became a celebratory breakfast for large family gatherings and holidays.
One morning when I made pancakes, I went to the fridge and found we had run out of buttermilk. Out came the imitation maple syrup. My children pushed their plates away. Their faces said it all. The high-fructose corn syrup simply would not do. That’s when it hit me — this was no ordinary syrup.
The Demand Grows
As our family grew, so did the tradition. Friends and relatives who visited were always treated to a pancake breakfast with Uncle Bob’s buttermilk syrup—and their first reactions said it all. Before long, the requests kept coming, and it became clear: it was time to share this syrup beyond our own table.
After hundreds of hours perfecting a shelf-stable recipe without preservatives or sacrificing its homemade taste, Butter Country Syrups made their debut in 2016. Since then, they’ve found their way into homes across the country. We hope you enjoy these rich, creamy syrups with your family just as we have with ours.
